Frequently Asked Questions


The Gideons International is a diverse association representing many Protestants and Evangelical denominations – all with a common interest in spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

All Gideons uphold these core beliefs:

  • The Bible is the inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of God
  • The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God

All Gideons must also:

  • Have received Jesus as their personal Savior
  • Endeavor to follow Him in their daily lives
  • Be members in good standing in their Protestant/Evangelical churches
  • Have the recommendation of their pastors
Our mission is to reach the lost. We do not provide Bibles and New Testaments to individuals, our church partners, or other organizations for their distribution. Our unique method is to have only our members distribute Bibles or New Testaments through designated traffic lanes of life, thus efficiently reaching a large number of people. We do not overlap, duplicate, or conflict with the mission of churches and other ministries. Instead, we act as an extended missionary arm of the church. If you are searching for a copy of God’s Word for personal use, we welcome you to visit the Read the Bible section of this website for online resources.

Neither. The Gideons International is an association that works with Evangelical or Protestant churches. Our members come from many denominations, live all over the world, and share a desire to see the lost come to Christ.

Generally, Christian businessmen and professional men, aged 21 and older, or retired businessmen and professional men, who adhere to the core spiritual beliefs held by The Gideons International are eligible to join.
