The Grand Prize Winner

Prize Pack

Everyone who completed at least one daily Plan selection, every day from February 1 to February 21, without missing any days, was entered into a random drawing for our grand prize: a T-shirt, a sticker pack, a mug, and an Google Home Mini! The results are in, and the lucky winner is:

Congratulations, Kaila!

P.S. Don’t forget to ask your new Google Home Mini, “Ok Google, ask YouVersion what it can do.” 😉

Keep taking it one day at a time. And don’t stop.

We trust that your time in God’s Word during these last three weeks has drawn you closer to him. We also hope each day helped you get your daily Bible practice going. The statistics from past Challenges are clear: once you establish a daily habit for several weeks, that momentum can carry you forward on a streak of consistent time in the Bible.

We offer thousands of Plans, in dozens of languages, and we’re adding more all the time. Your next new favorite Plan is just a couple of clicks away:

The Bible App

Connect with God’s Word on your smartphone or tablet, or online at Bible.com.

If you’ve ever struggled to understand the Bible because you thought it was hard to read, or because you didn’t see how it applied to you, we made the Bible App for you. The Bible App helps you explore the Bible at your own pace, by yourself or (even better) with friends. Bible Plans feed you Scripture in short, daily selections, along with audio, video, or text that helps you understand what it says, reflect on what it means, and apply its truth in your own life. Browsing Plans is easy — and fun. And with thousands of Plans to explore (and more added all the time), you’ll always discover something new. Find a version of the Bible (or several) that really bring God’s Word to life for you: we offer hundreds, in over a thousand languages. And if you’d rather listen than read, try audio Bibles.

This is all completely free: no advertising, no in-app purchases, no strings attached. How? Through the irrational generosity of hundreds of Bible partners, content partners, and other ministries, all coming together in one shared vision: to help every person on earth experience God’s Word. But you don’t have to take our word for it. The Bible App has already been installed on more than 300,000,000 unique devices (so far) all over the world. Try it now for yourself. And discover your own Bible experience.

YouVersion’s 2018 21-Day Challenge: Get your Bible habit going!

21-Day Challenge

If you’re like most people who download the Bible App, you installed it because you believe that reading God’s Word is important, and you intend to read it more. One of the best ways we’ve found to start a daily Bible practice is to complete one short Plan after another in the Bible App.

That’s what our annual 21-Day Challenge is all about: helping you start building a daily habit of connecting with God’s Word.

Spread the Word.

Invite your friends to join you in the Bible App for this year’s 21-Day Challenge! And, when you share about it on social media, be sure you include the hashtag #BibleFor21.

Official Rules

The 21-Day Challenge begins, February 1, 2018, and runs through February 21, 2018.

To be eligible for a badge and for the prize drawing, you must complete at least one day’s reading (or listening) of at least one Plan, every day for 21 days.

If you already started a Plan before February 1, just keep going, and do not miss any days.

You do not have to do a Plan that lasts 21 days. You can do Plans of any length, even if they’re longer or shorter than 21 days. Simply make sure that you complete at least one day of at least one Plan for every one of the 21 days.

Each time that you complete a day, make sure that all of that day’s selections are checked as completed.

Make sure everything is checked

If you complete all 21 days (without missing any days), you will receive a 2018 21-Day Challenge badge in your Bible App profile:

To view your Badges: In the Bible App, go to your profile and select Badges.

Out of everyone who completes all 21 days (without missing any days), we will randomly select one grand prize winner.¹

The grand prize will include fun YouVersion items like a T-shirt, stickers, mug—and even a brand-new Google Home Mini!

¹ Prizes are subject to change or substitution based on availability. Winners will be contacted with details about how to receive their prizes. Some items not available for shipping internationally.

Now, let’s get you started.

If this is your first challenge, we recommend you start with a shorter Plan, then just keep completing one short Plan after another. Take it one day at a time, and, as your habit grows, gradually ease into longer and longer Plans.

If you haven’t already selected your first Plan for the Challenge, getting started is easy: just tap the button below to start looking for a Plan you like. Then, whichever Plan you choose to start, consider inviting a friend (or several) to join you!
