A Great Big Gospel Giveaway!
Almost 60,000 copies of John’s Gospel will be given out in the Diocese of Down and Dromore between now and early New Year.
The offer of free pocket–sized gospels was taken up by 32 of its parishes, each of whom is receiving personalised copies to share with their community. They are supplied by the Pocket Testament League for whose ministry the diocese and parishes are very grateful.
As well as the text, the gospels contain a message from the church and their contact details are on the back.
There are many ways to share the true story of the life and message of Jesus but with all of the current restrictions around social distancing, copies will be posted or delivered with care by teams going door to door.
Why share the word of God?
– God’s word is alive and active (Hebrews 4:12)
– It has the power to transform lives (2 Corinthians 5:17)
– No one tells God’s story, and His amazing offer for His Creation, better than God himself!
With the above in mind, the diocese is encouraging prayer for the Gospel Giveaway with its offer of life and hope in these uncertain times.
