Every day, copies of God’s Word are being placed by Gideons and Auxiliary throughout the world. Here is a testimony we received from someone whose life was touched by one of those Scriptures.
Dear Gideons:
When I heard one of your men speak recently, it made me remember some bad stuff from when I was a kid. I made a lot of really poor decisions as a young girl that led me into drug addiction and life on the streets.
In Bellingham, Washington one night about 22 years ago, I overdosed on cocaine and heroin. I spent the night behind a dumpster in an alley, hoping no one would find and attack me. Scared and afraid I might die, I made it through the night by God’s grace.
I checked into a cheap hotel for a couple of weeks and locked myself in to go through withdrawal. It was a lonesome, hard time. On a shelf, I found a Bible placed by The Gideons and after a few days I began to read. It wasn’t an instant transformation, but I found hope and made another step toward Jesus.
I am grateful to have been drug-free and walking with Jesus for many years now. Thank you for putting Bibles where people can find them.
—A grateful supporter of your ministry
