…And He’s using people like you!

This year, more people than ever before are already experiencing greater intimacy with God through YouVersion.

And it’s all possible thanks to the support of our generous Community.

As people set new habits and goals, the YouVersion app is here to meet them—and your generosity helps make that possible.

All this momentum means more people in more places are deepening their relationship with God through Scripture every day.

People like Kristin, in Indiana, who shared…

“I was introduced to Christ and YouVersion within days of each other. Applying the Bible to my life seemed outside my understanding and intimidating. Through YouVersion’s helpful daily Scripture and devotional Plans, I have a better understanding of God.”

Imagine the millions of people like Kristin who will experience the life-giving truth of God’s Word when you give today. That’s the power of your partnership at work. And this is just the beginning!

Impact even more lives by giving today.

In Kristin’s own words, this is the life-change you’re supporting…

“Now, I pray and talk to God multiple times a day. I want to start and end my days with my Heavenly Creator, and YouVersion is a huge part of that for me.”

Thank you for giving as generously as you can. Together, we can help more people discover how life-altering an intimate relationship with God can be.

I’ll help others experience intimacy with God >>

Do you remember the first time you realized that God loved you? That He wanted a relationship with you?

In Diya’s story, we saw God meet her in her despair and provide hope and healing through YouVersion.

Maybe you can recall a time when God met one of your deepest needs as well.

YouVersion is currently reaching hundreds of millions of people in every country around the world, and connecting them with the hope of Scripture—but there are still people who haven’t experienced the life-changing impact of God’s Word.

It doesn’t have to stay this way.

Be a part of what’s happening at YouVersion by giving a gift today.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve referred others to YouVersion because of the different languages it has. I even shared it with my half brother in Hong Kong, and he’s a believer now!

God is doing great work through YouVersion—it’s why I give.

But with YouVersion, I am able to fill my mind with God’s truth instead, wherever I go.

As Giving Tuesday approaches, let’s prepare our hearts by taking a look at what the Bible says about generosity.

In 2 Corinthians, Paul wrote to the church in Corinth, urging them to help Christians suffering in Jerusalem by giving generously.

Here are 3 things we can learn from Paul about what it looks like to live a generous life.

1. How we give matters.

“… Give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”

2 Corinthians 9:7

When life happens or you face financial hardship, it’s not always easy to give with a cheerful heart.

So, how can we give in the midst of our own struggles?

We must remember that everything we have comes from God. We simply get to steward it.

When we shift our mindset from “my resources” to “God’s resources,” it changes the way we live.

We are able to live with an open hand, trusting God with what He’s given us and blessing others with a cheerful heart.

2. God equips us for what He calls us to.

“And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”

2 Corinthians 9:8

Are you trusting God with everything He’s given you?

When we choose to live generously, we are surrendering our desires, admitting that we have nothing and are fully reliant on God’s provision.

You don’t need to have a lot to give. You just have to be faithful with what God has given you.

Giving is an act of surrender and complete faith that God will provide.

3. Giving is an expression of thanksgiving.

“This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.”

2 Corinthians 9:12

Generosity is more than a gift to others. It’s a reflection of your heart.

God doesn’t want us to live generously because we have to, but because it is our deepest desire to help others and glorify Him.

When we give out of gratitude, it is a reflection of the transformation we’ve experienced through the Gospel.

The Gospel story is a story of generosity.

Jesus is the perfect example of what generosity looks like.

He gave up His life and died a criminal’s death so that we could be saved through the riches of God’s grace.

As Giving Tuesday approaches, what is God asking you to do?
