Ministry to distribute Bibles with newspaper

PITTSBURGH - A religious group is planning to distribute 250,000 Pittsburgh-themed New Testament Bibles in advertising pouches to be delivered with editions of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette newspaper.

CityReachers Pittsburgh, a program of the Colorado Springs, Colo.-based International Bible Society, hopes to send the New Testaments to the paper's subscribers in Allegheny County and some border communities on Sept. 7.

The group has delivered custom-designed Bibles to newspaper subscribers in several other cities across the country in an effort to find innovative ways of spreading a Christian message.

Last month, the group distributed 140,000 New Testaments in Philadelphia and Chester counties. It plans to send out another 260,000 in Montgomery, Bucks and Delaware counties in November. Full story HERE.
