YouVersion just had its biggest year ever.

We launched the Bible App in 2008 with just 15 Bibles, in two languages. Now, thanks to the generosity of visionary partners, the Bible App is privileged to offer more than 1,800 versions, with content in over 1,250 languages.

All over the world, more and more people are turning to the Bible to hear what God wants to say to them. When you give to YouVersion, you’re helping us connect them with God’s Word, in every country on earth.

2018 was the worldwide YouVersion community’s most Bible–engaged year ever.

This is personal.

Why are we so passionate about sharing God’s Word? Because each one of us at YouVersion has experienced the gift of God’s love through his Word. And, because you use the Bible App, that makes you a part of what God is doing.

Consider taking another step in your Bible App journey. “Remember the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” (Acts 20:35)

Every person on earth has a face… has a name… has a story.

What would happen if every person who wanted a Bible could have one?

We’re leveraging technology to help this generation become the most Bible-engaged people in history. Because reading or listening to Scripture has the power to change lives. When you give to YouVersion, you help us connect more people with God’s Word, in places seeing unprecedented Bible engagement, like Nepal, Chile, Romania, and Japan.

Imagine a world where every person can instantly engage with God’s Word in their own language. In the history of our planet, nothing like that has ever been possible before. But now, not only is this dream possible, it’s within reach…during our lifetimes.

Let’s find out, together.

God’s Spirit is moving on the hearts of people all over the world. In response, more and more are seeking Him in His Word. The Bible’s wisdom is relevant to our lives today: encouraging us, filling us with hopeful expectation, and challenging us to love better.

Within this revival, this current generation is on pace to become the most Bible-engaged ever. Together with hundreds of our partners, we’re celebrating the momentum we’ve seen across the worldwide YouVersion Community during 2018:
