The Official Counts of the Gideon Fall Distributions

As a member of Gideons International, I had just received my Gideon Newsletter, "The Torch of the Iowa Gideons".  Inside were the official counts of the Farm Progress Show and College Bible distributions.  Here are the numbers:

Farm Progress Show
- 1,076 Bibles
- 22 members attended

University of Northern Iowa
- 3,159 Bibles
- 28 members attended

University of Iowa
- 5,057 Bibles
- 46 members attended

Iowa State University
- 6,750 Bibles (NEW RECORD!)
- 41 members attended

Drake University
- 648 Bibles (Numbers down because of rain)
- 13 members attended

Simpson College
- 501 Bibles
- 10 members attended

This brings us to a total of 17,191 BIBLES GIVEN OUT THIS FALL!!! 

Praise God.  Please pray and consider giving to the Gideons.  It is only by God's grace we can make this possible.  It was such a blessing to be able to go to college campuses and distribute God's word.  Pray that many of these bibles will be read by students and staff and that they will give their lives to serve the Lord.
