Hotel Bible

Hotel Bible

Instead of spending $10,000 to $25,000 a night to stay in a famous hotel suite with a swimming pool or gold chandeliers, why not just stay in a hotel and donate the money you save to Bibles?

I'm not talking about Gideon International's hotel Bible program. Launched in 1908, Gideon's hotel Bible program continues to be admirably successful. Thanks to their program, many if not most hotel rooms in the free world now have Bibles (right), which is great.

While Gideon's hotel Bible program should continue to be supported, so should those that deliver Bibles to countries that ban Bibles but where the underground churches desperately need Bibles.

For $1,000, 500 Bibles can be delivered to such churches, and for every Bible delivered, three more people on average come to believe in Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.

Please think about this. After all, do you really need a suite? If so, great suites abound for under $1,000. If not, $200 will get you a perfectly nice hotel room.

Better yet, instead of staying at a hotel, why not stay at a family-run bed and breakfast for $100? You'll not only save money but also enjoy a more memorable stay since people, not rooms, are remembered, and hostesses are easier to remember than hotel concierges.

How far will the money you save go?

If you stay at a $100 bed and breakfast instead of a $10,000 luxury suite and donate the difference, the $9,900 donated will deliver 4,950 Bibles to a persecuted area of the world, and those Bibles will lead to 14,850 souls being won for Christ.

If you stay at a $100 bed and breakfast instead of a $25,000 luxury suite and donate the difference, the $24,900 donated will deliver 12,450 Bibles to a persecuted region of the world, and those Bibles will lead to over 37,000 souls being won for Jesus.

By foregoing luxury for just one night, you can be used to save thousands of people from hell and instead send them to heaven. For more on this, click here.
