The Gideons International in Australia

Coffs Harbour Scripture Blitz

The 2024 Coffs Harbour Scripture Blitz took place in the few days leading up to The Gideons National Convention in September. The planning for this Blitz commenced about three months preceding convention.

Key towns and suburbs covered were those that the Coffs Harbour Camp is typically responsible for and included Macksville, Nambucca, Bellingen, Dorrigo, Sawtell, Toormina, Coffs Harbour, Ebor, Urunga, Grafton, Nymboida and Coutts Crossing.

The team also managed to extend Scripture distributions to towns north of Coffs Harbour to the Queensland border and included the towns of Murwillumbah, Yamba, Tweed River, Cabarita Beach, Chinderah and Moobal. Facilities visited included aged care, hospitals, medical practices, hotels and motels. Substantial numbers of conversations also took place.

“Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.”
– Psalm 55:22 (ESV)

We praise the Lord that:

  • 1071 Bibles and Testaments were distributed.
  • 35 Gideons and Auxiliary volunteered to take part in this Blitz.

Please pray for:

  • The placed Bibles, that they will be read and lead to the salvation of those who read them and their loved ones.
  • Towns and facilities where we received knock backs to our requests to place Bibles.
