Gideons International was created in 1899.
There is an international organization that puts copies of the Bible in each hotel room, all over the world. The organization is called "The Gideons". It is the regular Holy Bible, but the cover will say, usually, "placed by The Gideons".
No one member is more important than the other.
The Gideons are a group; a Christian group and not a religion of its own. The Gideons are known for placing Bible's in Hotels for all to use. They are basically a Bible printing and distribution organization.
The Gideons are not actually a denomination of Christianity, but a Christian organization officially called "Gideons International" whose mission is to spread the word of God by handing out Bibles to people who might never otherwise encounter it. So the Gideons don't have specific beliefs (like whether Jesus is completely God or if he was something else) and can come from a variety of denominations. However, most Christians do believe that Jesus is God, so most Gideons are probably going to believe that, too. I hope that answered your question.
Somewhere in the neighborhood of 61,320,000. That's according to statistics from Wycliffe International, the Society of Gideons, and the International Bible Society.
The torch on the Gideons emblem symbolizes enlightenment, knowledge, and the spreading of the Gospel. It represents the mission of the Gideons International to share the Christian faith and distribute Bibles, illuminating the path to spiritual truth for individuals around the world. The torch signifies hope and guidance, aligning with their commitment to bring light into the lives of those who seek it.
The Bibles are given out by the Gideons.
The Gideons believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible, inerrant word of God.
According to Baptist-ministries, the Gideons do have a Korean/English translation Bible. You would probably need to contact them by phone or email to request the version you are interested in since I don't see a store website for the Gideons.
As of now, there are approximately 300,000 members of The Gideons International, an organization known for distributing Bibles worldwide. However, the total number of Gideons, including those not in the organization or involved in similar activities, is difficult to determine. The organization operates in over 200 countries, distributing millions of Bibles annually.
