Monday, July 11th
There`s an evangelical church near our residence and attended a service on Sunday evening.
Ron Hyde from the Gideons talked about their activities and shared the Word.
The Gideons is an assocciation started by business and professional men and their wives. They are
regular church members and have accepted Jesus Christ as their Saviour and Lord. By personal
example and witness they lead other people to faith.
They place Bibles in hotel bedrooms, beside hospital beds in wards and in homes for the elderly.
Personal copies are presented to young people in senior schools, to students in universities and
colleges, and members of the medical profession, police, fire and ambulance services and armed
forces.
There was a very talented piano player playing the songs of praise and everybody joined in reading
out the words from the screen. After service everyone was offered a cup of tea with milk. People had
a cosy chat.
I got a brand new Gideons small red Bible and it differs from an ordinary Bible with its Guidance
pages at the front of the book. Amazingly helpful for any case of life problems:
e.g. Psalms relevant for people who are bullied, choosing a career, considering a marriage,
contemplating revenge, coping with failure, doubting, envious, ill or in pain etc.
