Bible App for Kids installed 5MM times
 

With our partner One Hope, YouVersion launched the Bible App for Kids in November of 2013. We couldn’t have guessed we’d reach 5 million installs in just over a year. A revolution in Bible engagement is taking place in our lifetimes.

So far, the Bible App for Kids is available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, and Brazilian Portuguese. But more languages are coming. And the app now features 24 stories — stories like “It Is Finished,” the story of Jesus’ resurrection, and “The First Christmas Gift,” the story of Jesus’ birth. Inside the app, kids have already completed these stories more than 35 million times. But more stories are coming — stories like “A Voice in the Night” and “Stones, Slings, and Giant Things,” to name just two. (You’ll have to watch the app to see what they’re about!)

 

More and more children are falling in love
with God’s Word…

Every day, in every country.

“My twin 4-year-old nephews LOVE the Bible App for Kids! They choose it over their games. Better than that…one gave his heart to Jesus as a result of discussions that happened because of the app!”

“My 6-year-old daughter Talia absolutely loves the Bible App for Kids. She told me she wants to start doing her devotions in the morning and evening! As a father and pastor this pleases my heart so much. Thank you for doing what you do. You’re having a greater impact than you realise. ”

“@BibleAppForKids is Incredible! My girls love it! Highly engaged in God’s Word & excited to show it to their cousins last night.”

“Great job, @BibleAppForKids! First thing my boy said this morning: ‘Can I read the Bible?’”

 

 

Join the Bible engagement revolution

Just like the Bible App, the Bible App for Kids will always be completely free. It’s made possible by the generosity of people who are passionate about making sure everyone on earth has access to God’s Word — people just like you. Getting it couldn’t be easier:

“Brave and Beautiful Queen,” New Bible App for Kids Story about Esther

The newest story in the Bible App for Kids is all about how God gives Esther favor with the king so that she can save God’s people from a really bad man. “Brave and Beautiful Queen” is based on the Old Testament book Esther, from chapters 2–5, chapter 7, and verses 20 through 22 of chapter 9. In this new story, you’ll see Esther help rescue God’s people through her courage, grace, and integrity.

Esther visits the king

When the Jewish man Mordecai won’t bow to Haman, an advisor to King Xerxes, Haman is very angry. Haman decides to get even by having all of the Jews killed. What Haman doesn’t know is that King Xerxes’ wife Esther is Mordecai’s niece — which means she’s one of the Jews! Mordecai encourages Esther to tell Haman’s plan to the king. God gives Esther favor, and when King Xerxes hears what Haman said, he gets rid of Haman instead! Because of Esther’s courage, the Jews are saved, and they celebrate with a huge feast.

The Bible App for Kids Adds “A Hairy Tale,” the Story of Samson

“A Hairy Tale” is the newest story in the Bible App for Kids, and it’s available now! This tale of Samson comes from Judges 13–16 in the Old Testament. God gifts Samson with supernatural strength so he can lead his people to stand up to Philistine bullies. And as Samson’s hair grows longer, his muscles grow stronger.

Unfortunately, because Samson keeps using his strength to be selfish, he loses God’s favor, his hair, his muscles… even his eyes! But when Samson finally turns his heart back to God and admits his mistakes, God returns Samson’s strength to him — just in time to fulfill the purpose God had for him all along.

The Bible App for Kids Celebrates Its First Anniversary

The Bible App for Kids is 1 YEAR OLD!

The Bible App for Kids launched one year ago on Thanksgiving 2013. Throughout the past year, children all over the world have been discovering God’s Word through a unique Bible experience all their own. Designed in partnership with OneHope, the Bible App for Kids has been installed on more than 4 million unique devices in 218 different countries. Kids have already spent more than 10 million minutes exploring more than 20 delight-filled stories.

It’s thrilling to see so many little ones growing in their love for God’s Word, and we’re looking forward to seeing how it shapes their generation. We’re also pretty excited about some recent and upcoming additions to the app.

More stories are coming. Next up will be “A Hairy Tale,” the Old Testament story of redemption about Samson, the man with long hair and miraculous strength.

More languages are coming, too. The Bible App for Kids launched a Spanish version this summer, then added Chinese and Korean just days ago, bringing new ways for kids to engage with God’s Word in the language of their hearts, no matter where they live. In the coming months, even more languages will be making their debut — like Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, and Arabic.
