A Bible for Every Newspaper

The International Bible Society is working to put a quarter of a million custom-designed New Testaments into the homes of people living in Pittsburgh. The plan is for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette to add the Bibles to the newspapers delivered to subscribers in Allegheny County on September 7th. CityReachers Pittsburgh, an arm of the IBS, already distributed 140,000 New Testaments to the Philadelphia area during April. Another 260,000 will go out in Montgomery, Bucks and Delaware counties in November. The Pittsburgh edition will show the city's Golden Triangle on the cover. On the back will be a photo of Steelers football players kneeling in prayer along with testimonies from well-known people in the city. CityReachers Pittsburgh has raised a little more than half of what’s needed to complete the project by the printing deadline.
