TLF Features



In this month of September, our feature organisation is the Gideon Bible Society. The Gideon’s International has one simple and clearly defined aim: to win men, women and young people for the Lord Jesus Christ. On 1 July 1899, a meeting was called in the YMCA, Janesville, Wisconsin. Although only three men were present - John H Nicholson, Samuel E Hill and Will J Knights One of them said, "If God is in this thing, He will give us a name; let's pray about it." It was Will Knights. One of them after prayer, rose to his feet and said that he had the name of the project they were to start – Gideon’s. He read Judges 6 and 7, which showed several reasons for adopting this name. The proposal that Gideon’s should provide a Bible for every hotel room was adopted by the Convention in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1908. Ever since then the Gideon International has distributed free copies of complete Bibles to hotels and New Testament Copies to schools, on the streets, etc. We pray that God in His infinite goodness would bless and direct their path unto good, in Jesus name, amen.

#NextGeneration Stories

Cherokee Legend Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage? His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.  He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help from anyone.  Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some humans might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man! Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.    He had been at watch the entire night, p...

August Theme

Our thematic issues for this month is #NextGeneration We urge us in love to pick one of the issues under our theme for the month and help share messages, videos, pictures and matters for discussion and action plans under any of the issues. Let's dig deep into the concept of preparing the next generation of leaders, professionals, members of the society among others, which comes from God Himself right from creation and see how it improves acts of charity and social development. Humanity has survived since creation because intentional efforts have been made to prepare for generations to generations. Families birth those who'd constitute the next generation. If we don't prepare the next generation, we'd have a retrogressive situation which is highly preventable. #NextGeneration #August TLF 💚
