ARLINGTON, Texas, Nov. 22, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Seed Company, the fastest growing Bible translation organization in the world, is presenting Christmas Gift-a-Verse cards in conjunction with its OneVerse ministry. Through Gift-a-Verse, holiday shoppers can bless a loved one on Christmas Day by surprising them with a Bible verse that has been sponsored for translation in their honor. The gift will help bring God's Word to one of the more than 2,000 people groups who are still living without it.
Joining the Christmas Gift-a-Verse initiative is the Duggar family of TLC's "19 Kids and Counting." Jim Bob Duggar, the father of the popular family, shares his enthusiasm.
"As a parent, one of the best gifts I can give my children is the gift of God's Word," Jim Bob said. "Through Gift-a-Verse, we are now able to amplify this gift by sharing the most important message on Earth with others in need across the globe. Since Christmas is about giving and celebrating God's love, we are thrilled that The Seed Company has provided the perfect opportunity to join in the Great Commission to spread the Scriptures and share his Light wherever we can."
Four beautiful 5x7-inch Christmas Gift-a-Verse cards are available with a donation of $26, the cost to translate one verse of Scripture. Purchasers select a people group they wish to help, and then the specific Bible verse to be translated for the very first time is noted in the Christmas card.
"Even today, as Christmas 2011 approaches, there are more than 340 million people who still do not have the Bible in their language," said Roy Peterson, president and CEO of The Seed Company. "Gift-a-Verse represents a unique opportunity to share God's love with family and friends this Christmas, and also enables those who are without Scripture to receive God's Word in their own language."
To receive Gift-a-Verse Holiday cards in time for Christmas, place your orders by Dec. 12. To select a card design and order now, please go to www.DuggarFamily.com/giftaverse.
