Today we will be receiving a love offering to help support the ministry of The Gideons. Therefore, I wanted to share this information with you as you pray about your gift to Gideons International. The following information was taken from their website.
Faithfulness and stewardship are two key concepts that have characterized The Gideons International since its inception in 1899. The Association remains faithful to God’s call and direction in maintaining its singular objective of winning others for Christ while observing a level of stewardship focused on properly using the resources entrusted to it.
As an accredited member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA), The Gideons is committed to fulfilling the standard found in 2 Corinthians 8:21. The Gideons International adheres to the ECFA’s Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship, which are drawn from Scripture, and are fundamental to operating with integrity. To learn about these standards, visit www.ecfa.org/standards.
These two key characteristics are especially evident in the handling of the donations received by The Gideons International.
Per the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, the Association received US$167.9 million (net of US$17.9 million for use in 12 National Association countries and 186 International Countries) in total Operating Support and Revenues, of which US$100.2 million was used for the purchase and placement of Bibles and New Testaments worldwide. In addition, US$27.1 million was used for other program services funded by donations of individual members and other resources not designated for Scriptures.
Thank you for your gift to The Gideons.
Pastor,
Rev. Wayne Marcus
