Let’s celebrate 16 years of impact!

People using phone

YouVersion began as an idea in an airport security line. And 16 years ago this month, the Bible App became one of the first apps in the app store.

Since then, God has continuously done more than we ever could’ve imagined. Over the past 16 years, we’ve seen God…

  • Reach even more people with His Word by increasing installs from 83,000 in the first week to over 800 million across our Family of Apps.
  • Expand the Bible App from two Bible versions to over 3,000 versions in 2,000 languages (and counting).
  • Use the Bible App to reach and impact countless lives, churches, and global ministries.

The same God who did all this isn’t finished yet—and He’s using the generosity of people like you to bring His Word to the world.

God has done amazing things through the Bible App, but there are still billions of people who haven’t experienced the life-changing power of Scripture.

Give today and let’s bring God’s Word to even more people in the next 16 years and beyond.

As we celebrate 16 years of the Bible App, let’s take a moment to pray and reflect on God’s generosity together.


God,

Thank You for giving me Your Word. I don’t ever want to take for granted that You invite me to partner with You in reaching the world with Your Word. What a gift that is! I’m amazed at what you’re doing through ministries like YouVersion. I pray that You would continue to use the Bible App to reach even more people through increased installs, more Bible translations, more Bible versions, and more lives being changed by Your Word. As Your Word reaches the world, show me how I can continue to partner with You. Show me how I can bring Your good gifts to the world. Give me a generous heart that longs to reflect Your goodness to others.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

“I need rest.”

Person laying in grass

“He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters.”

Psalm 23:2

When life is overwhelming, rest might seem impossible. And during a hard day, you might be unsure where to turn.

God is a loving Father who wants to help His children. And Psalm 23 says that God wants to provide rest for you.

For the next three days, we’ll be unpacking Psalm 23 in Daily Refresh. Come back each day to learn more!

What defines you?

Person looking into distance

“See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are…”

1 JOHN 3:1

Who you are is more than what you do or what people say about you.

Your identity is found in who God uniquely created you to be—His child.

Learn what that means by completing a Plan on purpose or calling this month.

God can use just one verse to change someone’s life.

Person using the Bible App on phone

On the same day that Rich received a life-altering diagnosis, he also discovered something else that would change his life forever. Here’s his story:

In Rich’s hopelessness and fear, he found God’s Word through the Bible App, and it sustained him.

Right now, you can help get the Bible to people who, just like Rich, are desperately searching for hope that we know can only be found in God’s Word.

When you give a gift of US$36, you’re getting 90 free digital Bibles to people around the world.
