The Gideons- New Camps in Ghana

Gideons Share God’s Word In Ghana
The Gideons first opened a camp in Ghana in 1966. With the 5 new camps in Ghana, there are 106 Gideon camps there total. To date, more than 21 million Scriptures have been placed there through The Gideons International.

In 1957, Ghana became the first nation in colonial Africa to gain independence. Today, more than 24 million people live in Ghana. There has been a significant increase in evangelical churches in the more developed South over the past 15 years, however 70% of Ghana’s villages still have no evangelical church.

Please pray for our new Gideon camps in Ghana, as well as those in the rest of the country. And pray for open doors for Gideons to distribute large quantities of God’s Word there as the people of Ghana are more receptive than ever to the Gospel.

The Gideons- Romania 2012

The 2012 Romania ISB: Memories of Gratitude

by The Gideons International on June 12, 2012

In late March, an international team of eight Gideons from the U.S., Sweden and Germany arrived in Bucharest, Romania to share God’s Word in an International Scripture Blitz (ISB). Following is an account of the strong impression that the blitz left on Kent Olofsson, a Gideon from Sweden.

The process of gathering and summarizing all the impressions and experiences I have had during this week is not easy. After just a few days at home, I have noticed, how very much of my everyday life is directly affected by my experiences in Bucharest.

I have left a piece of my heart in Romania with my brothers and sisters there, and with the Gideons from the U.S. and Germany who participated in the Blitz. I have added memories that I will carry with me forever. The words, “brother,” and, “sister,” have now a whole new meaning. They are no
longer just words, but a very strong feeling that is directly linked to my heart.

Which experiences should I choose to describe? Those which were emotionally the strongest, or those I feel will have the strongest influence on the future?

Is it the memory of a woman who walks past a school where we are distributing New Testaments? She receives a New Testament without saying anything. She seems weighed down and gloomy, and I watch her as she enters a porch a few houses away. After a while, she returns. Her facial expression has changed. She looks touched, maybe she has been crying. She thanks us for the New Testament. She says her child is very sick, and she has asked God for help. She says that having the New Testament in her hand helps her to feel God’s care for her. Her gratitude is enormous.

Or is it the memory of placing a New Testament on the bedside table of an elderly woman at a nursing home. I cannot understand her words because she speaks Romanian and my interpreter is not in the room. But the woman’s whole body language signals gratitude. She holds her New Testament to her chest with her arms folded. She bows to me and the words coming from her mouth are expressions of gratitude and joy, as I understand, and the words go straight to my heart and I am very moved.

I am grateful that I had the privilege of being part of, and seeing the result of what our predecessors and role models have done and accomplished. To take up their mantle is just too much. But maybe I can contribute with a small part, in order for the Word of God to be known among all peoples and tribes. When the Lord calls us to go, then we’ll go!
