Quick true Gideons story.

The Gideons were traveling to a small private school somewhere in Africa to distribute bible to the children where the local whites spoke English, so they packed only English language NT's. Unknown to them, there was the son of a French diplomat who spoke very little English and read none, but he got a bible, too. A few days later, the schoolmaster asked them how they knew to pack a French language NT's. They had not of course and when the headmaster was questioned, it seems that somehow ONE French translation NT had accidentally packed in with the English ones and the worker handing them out had somehow randomly grabbed THAT NT and given it to the French boy.

Just coincidence? I think not.

I think a more productive way to get these out is to have them at the relief centers. I would hate to see the bonfire 40K Bibles would make in the middle of an anarchy.

Yep, the best way to convert someone is to take advantage of when they're down.

Just make sure that those getting these Bibles don't hear/talk to those "Religious" people who think that God took out the Gulf Coast to punish them for their sins.

That kind of has a way of turning off people.
