Gideons International is an international organization which places free Bibles in hotel rooms worldwide. The idea for the organization came in 1898 after two traveling businessmen in Wisconsin shared a hotel room due to their hotel being overbooked. They discovered that they were both Christians and became friends.
In 1899, the two men and another businessman organized the Gideons in 1899 in Janesville, Wisconsin in a YMCA room. The Gideons "Bible Project" began in 1908. There are now Gideons in twenty- three countries/regions. They never charge for the placement of their Bibles.
