Here we go around to the other side of the barn to figure out what’s going on anyway.
The difficulty is the many things going on this past week around here. Gideon’s International SC Statewide Convention – which was a really good blessing for many folks.
In addition we had quite a few local church presentation services informing people on the work of the Gideons. Their mission is to spread the good news of the Gospel both at home and abroad. The small New Testament copies are being produced in nearly 100 languages and spread out for various people groups overseas. Gideons at home and abroad are hopeful that many people will pick up the pocket size testimony and read it.
Gideons International does not sell copies of Scripture. Our membership at home and in various foreign countries (about 90 now) … provide them without charge to the countries at home and abroad. We want the Gospel of the Lord Jesus and his saving grace to have the attention to as many hearts as possible. In the New Testaments given out in the
We would be pleased to have born-again Christians to pray for us across the world as the Lord wishes us to “Come over and help us.” That was the cry of those imprisoned in the jails across the Middle Eastern part of the world and has since been a point of distribution in schools and wherever they are wanted. You will never find a Gideon attempting to SELL the Testaments and Bibles in his/her possession. They are always to be handed out by those who are members of the International Association – and there is nothing other that we ask the little books and the Bibles be utilized to “spread the word.” It is our intention to do it readily without respect of persons or expecting any payment. It is our mission.
So if you would like to know more… there is usually a Gideon telephone number in the telephone directories of cities and towns… Or you can write the Gideons International in
Thanks for taking the time to read after the dinner and we appreciate your generosity as the Lord leads you to help provide funds for giving away to people in native lands who oftentimes do not have a Bible – we seek to remedy that. The Auxiliary ladies in our Camps each have areas assigned to them and try at least twice a year to touch base with the pastors and laymen to see if there’s anything in the line of fitting the tools to the task. We are here to serve.
Cordially, IN HIM

THE WAPO AND TV LAND RECRUIT COMICS FOR OBAMA
Just a Minute: In a story which appeared on The Washington Post’s blog Friday, comedian Bill Maher, revealed he has pledged a million dollars to a super PAC supporting President Obama's reelection bid. Bill Maher, the bane of most conservatives, has responded to Mr. Obama’s wooing trying to rescue his faltering attempt to stir up a win similar to the 2008 victory over John McCain.
The news is welcomed by a group struggling thus far to raise money equaling its conservative rivals. The Super PAC called Priorities USA Action comes as the PAC revealed it had managed to raise only $58 thousand while conservative PAC’s were bringing in millions. A large chunk of the Hollywood PAC’s money originated with years of effort by
The President shifted his course earlier this month announcing he would support the Hollywood PAC and also will allow Cabinet members to help raise money for it. The Post said Maher sent his own “tweet” acknowledging his gift which the PAC had voluminously described as generous.
We only observe this campaign obviously needs some comedy! <> I’m Jack Buttram. (END)
