You purchase a GodStory
Each completed, qualifying purchase adds one gifted account to the missionary gifting program.
Buy One, Give One
Their GodStories deserve to be preserved too.
For every qualifying GodStory purchased, we provide an eligible international missionary with a complete GodStory storytelling account and a downloadable PDF of their finished book.
Each qualifying purchase provides a gifted GodStory account and downloadable PDF. Printed hardcover not included.
Why missionaries
Some stories should never be lost.
Serving overseas, sometimes far from family, with a culture and language not your own, takes a certain kind of bravery.
Missionaries devote their lives to serving others, sharing the gospel, and helping people meet Jesus. Their lives hold stories of sacrifice, answered prayer, provision, and God's faithfulness that deserve to be preserved.
How it works
A purchase becomes an invitation to preserve a missionary's stories of faith.
02
We verify and invite a missionary
GodStory confirms each recipient's identity, ministry service, and organizational affiliation before extending an invitation.
03
Their GodStory is preserved
The missionary completes the GodStory experience and receives a downloadable PDF of their finished book.
What missionaries receive
A complete GodStory experience, built to travel.
The digital PDF lets missionaries preserve their finished book without depending on international shipping. They can keep it, share it with family, or arrange printing wherever and whenever it makes sense.

Program details
Buy One, Give One terms
These details explain what the program provides, how missionary recipients are verified, and how gifts are awarded.
What Buy One, Give One provides
For each qualifying purchase, GodStory provides one approved individual missionary with one nontransferable GodStory storytelling account and a downloadable PDF of their completed book. A complimentary printed hardcover is not included.
Qualifying purchases
A qualifying purchase is a completed, paid individual GodStory purchase made directly through godstory.co while the program is active. Refunded, canceled, charged-back, complimentary, replacement, bulk, church partnership, and program-awarded accounts do not qualify unless GodStory expressly states otherwise. Gifted missionary accounts do not generate additional gifted accounts.
An independently administered gifting program
Gift recipients are individuals. Churches, missions organizations, and nonprofits are used only to verify eligibility. They do not receive purchase funds, administer the program, select recipients, or sponsor or endorse the program.
Missionary recommendations
Purchasers may recommend a missionary, but a recommendation does not guarantee participation. The missionary must consent, satisfy the eligibility requirements, complete verification, and accept the invitation. GodStory makes all final eligibility and gifting decisions. If a nominee declines or does not qualify, the account remains in the general missionary gift pool.
Verification and safety
GodStory may contact a missionary or affiliated organization to verify identity and ministry service. Applicants and nominators should not submit exact locations, protected identities, underground church information, or sensitive ministry details unless GodStory specifically requests them through a secure process.
Digital PDF and local printing
Missionaries receive a downloadable PDF they may keep and arrange to print through a provider of their choice. GodStory does not control or guarantee third-party printer availability, pricing, print quality, taxes, customs requirements, or local printing restrictions.
$10 hardcover offer
Each eligible missionary recipient receives $10 off one eligible GodStory hardcover order shipped to a qualifying United States address. The recipient is responsible for the remaining purchase price, shipping, and applicable taxes. The offer has no cash value and is subject to the terms presented when it is issued.
Matching and completion
A gifted account is added to the missionary gift pool after the related purchase becomes final. GodStory does not guarantee a specific recipient, matching date, acceptance, or completion date. If an invitation is declined or expires before activation, the account returns to the pool for another eligible recipient.
Purchaser notification and missionary privacy
If the missionary separately consents, GodStory may tell the supporting purchaser the missionary's first name, sending organization, broad region of service, and an approved short biography. GodStory will not share direct contact information, an exact location, or sensitive ministry details without separate permission. Some recipients may remain anonymous for safety.
Refunds and chargebacks
If a qualifying purchase is refunded before the gifted account is activated, the associated gift allocation may be canceled. GodStory will not revoke an account after an eligible missionary has accepted and activated it. Refunded or charged-back purchases do not count toward published program totals.
No charitable contribution
A GodStory purchase is a commercial purchase, not a charitable contribution. No portion of the purchase price is donated to the missionary or their affiliated organization, and the purchase is not represented as tax-deductible.
Availability and legal compliance
Participation is available only where permitted by United States law and the laws applicable to the recipient. GodStory may decline, delay, suspend, or discontinue access when necessary to comply with legal, sanctions, security, or platform requirements.
Program changes
GodStory may modify or discontinue the program for future purchases. A gifted account earned through a qualifying purchase before a change will remain allocated under the program terms in effect when that purchase was completed.
