HOUSTON, Texas— On Sunday, August 29th, more than 430,000 Houston-area residences will receive something extra with their newspaper. International Bible Society (IBS) and a group of local Houstonians are providing The Servant King Gospel of Luke to the household of every Chronicle subscriber. This will be the largest single distribution of Scripture in Houston’s history.
IBS developed The Servant King Gospel of Luke, which incorporates imagery from Mel Gibson’s popular movie, The Passion of the Christ*, as follow-up to the movie.
“The Passion of the Christ movie not only shook our nation but provoked the whole world,” said Doug Stringer, Founder/President, Somebody Cares Houston. “Since the DVD and VHS versions are being released August 31st, this is a great time to provide everyone here in Houston the Scripture that ties so closely to the movie.”
IBS President Peter Bradley added, “It is the hope of everyone at International Bible Society that many people, after seeing The Passion of the Christ, will seek to learn more about Jesus through the pages of the original text.”
The Servant King represents the latest in a long line of specialty Scripture materials produced by IBS for use by individuals, churches, and ministry organizations.
Founded in 1809, International Bible Society faithfully translates, publishes, and reaches out with God’s Word so that people around the world may become disciples of Jesus Christ and members of His Body.
