Gideons UK

On January 20th Alan Dickson, Ian Argyle and Adrian Rubie joined our morning service to tell us about the work of Gideons UK – the British part of the International Gideons organisation.  Alan, who is chairman of the Bath branch, explained that the Gideons’ mission is to take the word of God and make it available to all people (at a time when only 3% of Britons go to church, and only 1% regularly read the bible).  
The Gideons work through four main activities:
  • Giving scriptures - the Bath branch gives 6,000 to 7,000 scriptures each year, mainly to Year 7 school pupils (including 75% of Bath secondary schools) and to university ‘fresher’ students;
  • Placing scriptures – in hotel rooms, care homes, hospitals, prisons, cruise ships – any place where people might pick it up and read it;
  • Sharing personal testimony;
  • Prayer.
 
Gideon Bibles are available in over 200 different countries; and the Gideon Bible ‘app’ is free, easy to download to any smartphone or tablet, and it offers both text and spoken scriptures in 1,300 languages.
 
Why does Alan himself do this?  He told us he sees reading the Bible as vital to being a Christian, and the strongest evidence of God and of the reality of Jesus as Saviour of the world.  Alan gave us four examples of people, in different age groups and walks of life, whose lives have been turned around through reading the Bible.
 
For anyone moved by his talk, Alan offered three steps for them to take:
 
  • Read the Bible more;
  • Become a Friend of the Gideons;
  • Become a Gideon.

Second Saturday @ Langridge Village Hall, 10:00am - midday

Second Saturday is an opportunity to relax with a cup of (decent) coffee or tea, fresh pastries and the Saturday papers.  Have a chat.  Do you have too much fruit or veg, have you made too many jars of jam?  Do you make things?  Do you want to swap a book?  Bring them along and either swap them for something else or sell them

All refreshments are free but donations are very welcome



Second Saturday @ Langridge is supported by:
* St Mary Magdalene Church, Langridge
* Friends of Langridge Church
