"Quick true Gideons story. "
uh huh.
"The Gideons were traveling"
All of them? A few? What were their names? When?
"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."
Who was the diplomat? Who was the son?
" A few days later, the schoolmaster asked them how they knew to pack a French language NT's."
THE schoolmaster? There was only 1 school?
I'm sorry.... Miracle sounding story with no details, sounds more like an urban myth.
How much room does 40,000 bibles take?
Why not ship bibles AFTER shipping in rescue gear? 40 inflatable boats would be more useful in "saving" people at this point.
You can believe or not. I really don't care. The story was told to me by one of the Gideons who delivered the NT's.
"Why not ship bibles AFTER shipping in rescue gear? 40 inflatable boats would be more useful in "saving" people at this point."
The Gideons are NOT a relief agency and never have been. They don't keep supplies to nourish the body on hand. What is the point in saving their lives only to lose their souls?
