Não apenas Bíblias em mesas de cabeceira

A ShareWord Global tem como objetivo compartilhar o evangelho com as escrituras em parceria com as igrejas locais.

À medida que avançamos nessa missão renovada, não somos menos do que éramos: somos mais. E temos sido por um bom tempo.

Logotipo da ShareWord Global

Novo nome. Nova missão.

Quando alguns homens se reuniram em um hotel de Wisconsin no final do século XIX, eles encontraram uns nos outros uma paixão compartilhada pelo evangelho. Seu método de deixar Bíblias nas mesinhas de cabeceira dos hotéis fazia sentido para quem eles eram: Homens de negócios cristãos em viagem.

Mas hoje, como os hotéis limitam o acesso à Palavra de Deus e ministérios como as apresentações da 5ª série são cada vez mais impossíveis, expandimos nosso “como”, ajudando os cristãos a “serem a mesa de cabeceira”. Liberando-os em suas comunidades para compartilhar o evangelho com as Escrituras.

Experimente o que é isso!

Esse evento de um dia inteiro ajudará a aumentar a confiança e o preparará para sair de sua porta e entrar no campo missionário que está ao seu redor.
Os grupos Faísca aproveitam ao máximo nossas revistas Spark para realizar um curso de 12 semanas que ensina as crianças sobre o evangelho e as prepara para compartilhá-lo.
Em uma equipe internacional, você estará ao lado de igrejas locais para alimentar a paixão delas pelo evangelismo - e a sua própria!

Why the need for a name change?
As we move into this new normal of being ShareWord Global, we aren't less than what we've always been: we are more, and we have been for quite a while. Our new name reflects that. While the Gideon name boasts international recognition and awareness, what it represents in people’s minds is only a portion of what ShareWord Global does and will do moving forward. As such, retaining the Gideon name would hinder the ministry and be an inauthentic representation of who we are.
Has the organization’s vision and mission changed?

Yes and no. While both statements have been updated, our driving passion hasn’t changed. We remain ALL ABOUT impacting lives with the gospel with Scripture. But how we primarily do that is different now. We invite you to explore the amazing doors God has opened and lives He has impacted through these new approaches.

What does the new name represent?

We like to think of ShareWord as a synonym for personal evangelism with Scripture, as we apply the dual meaning of the term, Word: Scripture, and the person of Jesus Christ.

Why the tagline, together, we can tell the world?
Together acknowledges that we are engaged in God’s work – a work that He has chosen to involve us with. But it’s also a work that we do together with the church. As a ministry, we don’t see ourselves as ‘helping the church be better at evangelism’. Rather, we ARE the church, and so together with our brothers and sisters in the faith, we aim to be faithful in the call to go and make disciples of all the nations.
Will sharing Scripture remain a core part of the ministry?
Definitely. Last year, we shared almost 2 million copies of Scripture worldwide and it’s our hope to see that number grow moving forward!
What is the significance of the logo?
We certainly tip our cap to the past with our logo, bringing forward and stylizing the flame that has always been lit on our old logo. But instead of the flame rising out of the pitcher, we see it emanating from the Word of God, underscoring the latter half of our name.
With the name change, how will you continue to honour the history established by the Gideons?
We embrace our history and affirm the work that has been done – in fact, we are building on that legacy. It's for that reason that we have established the Gideon Legacy program as a ministry of ShareWord Global, sharing specific resources and tools under the Gideon brand.
How will this rebrand be used to spread the gospel further?

In two key ways:

  • First, the rebrand reflects not just a change in mission, but a process of international growth that’s been going on for more than five years. We aren’t just reaching out to Canadians with the gospel or Scripture now - it’s the whole world.
  • Second, through multiplication. We aim to grow our impact by not just being the evangelists, but by mobilizing evangelists – our brothers and sisters in the faith - calling and helping the church to fulfill the Great Commission God has called us to.
