I feel an overwhelming desire to purchase and hand out bibles to people and other materials. Tracts, christian jewelry, anything to get people to to be aware of Jesus. But I am not the right person for the job. I don't go to church on a regular basis. I have not been baptized. I have been unable to ignore this calling. It always returns.. as well as other things. I am an ultra introvert and have a hard time meeting new people. I mostly avoid it. That's also why I barely go to church because the social interaction is just too much.

But I am still compelled to do something. It's happened enough that I can't ignore it and I'm certain it's God pushing me to do it. I have placed some bibles in blessing boxes.. locally those are boxes where you place food or other things and whoever needs it can take it. That has worked out.. I have placed six bibles so far and they have all been taken. I wish I knew they were going to people that aren't throwing them away, but there's no real way to know.

I don't know why I'm called to do things that I don't feel like I'm cut out for. Can anyone offer any information on giving out bibles? More places to possibly put out bibles or other ways to find people that need them?

Perhaps God is trying to help you overcome a low level of self-confidence? Preparing you for something?

" Mysterious are the ways of our Lord, and this being the importance
of a spiritual awareness, as it may be ones own self being alerted to
needing a closer relationship with God."

Gideons put bibles in hotel rooms.
little free libraries are good places to put a few
Doctors waiting rooms, hospitals, prisons, womens refuges, hostels, leave at the bus stop or on train seats...

you can write a blessing in the front fly page. To the reader, or whoever picks up this book...God wants to bless you when you read His word. Enjoy. Something simple like that. Include a cute bookmark.

Ask Jesus what He wants you to do, where He wants you to go and how He wants you to do so, according to John 16 this is our work to do for Him and it sounds like He is already very pleased to have called you into ministry.
