A time of inspiration and planning
This year will mark the 111th annual convention of The Gideons. One of the main objectives of the convention will be to elect new officers and vote on all goals (funds, members, etc.) for 2010-2011. The theme verse for this year’s convention is from Judges 7:21: “. . .and every man stood in his place all around the camp. . .”
50 or more heart-touching testimonies will be presented at this year’s convention—real stories of people whose lives have been eternally changed as a result of coming to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior through the Gideon ministry.
Each year, the annual convention also sets a Faith Fund goal, to provide Scriptures for the International Outreach Countries (and non-Qualified National Associations) of the Gideon ministry. This year’s goal is $2.5 million, which would provide more than 1.9 million Scriptures.
The convention will also include daily inspiration through messages from Dr. Woodward Kroll, president of Back to the Bible, heard daily on approximately 1,000 stations in the U.S. and another 100 stations in Canada.
The Annual Pastors’ Event will be another key event during the Convention. Over 3,000 people are expected to attend.
With Gideons from over 85 countries expected to attend the convention, the messages will be translated into 10 languages.
Please pray:
Please pray that this year’s convention will reach its Faith Fund goal of $2.5 million so that 1.9 million copies of God’s Word can be purchased for distribution to International Outreach Countries.
Give to The Gideons International and help impact lives for Christ. For less than $1.30, God's Word can be placed in the hands of individuals anywhere in the world.
