Global Church Partnership

Local partnership. Global impact.

How do you teach according to the Scriptures—without Scriptures? You can support church leaders around the world with Bibles, and in return receive Scripture resources you can use in your own community outreach programs.

Please note: entering your credit card information is required in order to sign-up for the Global Church Partnership program online. If you prefer another method of payment, please contact churches@gideons.ca

Why Global Church Partnership?

Can you imagine leading a church with no Bible? This is the reality for thousands of pastors around the world.

When you equip one of those pastors with a Bible, you’re changing his church forever. Not only can he now preach the gospel from the pulpit, but he can also mentor other leaders and evangelists.

Now imagine if that church had more than one Bible. Individuals can read it for themselves and bible studies can be formed. Communities can be radically transformed—all because Bibles were introduced to a church.

Partnering to Share with You

As a church, your commitment of a minimum donation of $100/month will be used to equip churches around the world with Bibles. As a thank you, we will offer your church Scripture resources at no cost.

Community Evangelism

Resource your existing outreach ministries with copies of God’s Word to share in your community.

Or try something new with these New Testaments, whether it be connecting with your community door to door or some other creative event that lets the neighborhood know they can find hope in Christ.

Scriptures for Youth

Equip your youth with the training and resources to share the gospel in their schools and social circles.

The SendMe program includes free copies of the Gospel of John for youth groups and students who have registered at sendme.ca. Registrants also receive training through a weekly SendMe blog that encourages and challenges them as they share their faith with their peers.

Digital Scriptures

Connect seekers to your church through a free, user-friendly outreach app called NewLife.

With wide-ranging apologetics material and a full Bible in multiple languages, this free app for Androids, iOS and BlackBerry is the perfect way for your church to reach out with the gospel. Add your church information so people know where you are and what ministries you offer.

Partner churches can order free app cards to promote the app in a non-intimidating way and invite people to explore the big questions of life whenever they want. Promote the app on your website or in your church foyer with materials we can provide.

Seasonal Scriptures

Offer your visitors a fresh new way to look at God’s Word at Christmas and Easter.

Once or twice a year is when many non-church going Canadians step inside a sanctuary. You can offer these visitors a fresh new way to look at God’s Word. Our Scripture magazines re-introduce people to the gospel message using a familiar magazine format.

By overlaying verses from the Bible on top of dynamic photography, readers find themselves drawn to the beauty and power of God’s Word. Each magazine also includes the complete Gospel of John.

Place Order

Global Involvement

Pastors, as a church partner, you’ll be invited to join us on a trip somewhere in the world where you can be a part of helping other pastors impact their communities with the gospel.

Around The Globe

Through ongoing partnerships in key areas of the world, we're involved in helping churches grow and reach out to their communities. Your partnership will help churches in China, South America, Eastern Europe and Africa.

The opportunities are endless, and the need is incredible, so your partnership is absolutely vital to ensuring that the people have a copy of God’s Word.

Accountability Matters

We have Regional Managers dedicated to working with our partners to ensure we are supporting them in any way we can.

Bibles Transformed My Church

Bedane is a soft-spoken young man who lives in a village in Ethiopia where tribal religions such as Wakefetcha, Islam, and Witchcraft are fighting for the souls of the population in the region.

Bedane

“I was always questioning many things about Christianity. I wanted to understand what God wanted me to do with my life, my purpose, and His everyday guidance. When I received the Bible in my own native language, Oromo, I began to understand the meaning of being a Christian.” - Bedane

When Bedane became a Christian two years ago, there was only one Bible in the new church plant of 20 members. Because they lived in rural areas far from each other the pastor made a list and passed the Bible around so that each church member had the Bible for five days.

Members returned the Bible to the pastor on Friday or Saturday, so that he could prepare his teachings for Sunday. Then after the Sunday service, a member would take the Bible for the next five days.

That’s how they shared the one copy of the Bible in Bedane’s village—until last year when we partnered with The Bible League of Canada and placed 60,000 Oromo Bibles in Ethiopia.

Bedane received one of those Bibles and it changed his life.

As Bedane grew in the Word, other things began to change. People started coming to the Lord; our small church began to grow. In less than a year, our congregation grew four times to 89 adults and 40 children.

Together we can ensure that pastors have Bibles to help them teach, and believers have Bibles to help them grow.
