What if the Bible didn’t exist in your language?

Right now, there are people around the world still waiting for a Bible in their language.

Almost a billion people can speak to their families, friends, and neighbors … but they’ve never experienced God speaking to them through His Word in their heart language.

You can change that.

Give to Bible Translation

When you give to Bible translation, your gift goes directly to a coalition of global Bible Partners already working on Scripture translation projects. When they complete a Bible translation, we’re able to quickly make it available for free to our global YouVersion Community through our Family of Apps.

The Vision for 2033

The vision is to see everyone have access to at least some portion of Scripture by 2033.

Will you join us?

All contributions received through the Bible for Everyone campaign will be used exclusively for the purpose of Bible translation, and spread across different, high-impact translation projects. As each project is completed, any remaining funds are then applied toward the next translation project, as selected by YouVersion and its Partners.

Did you know this is happening?

More people than ever before are experiencing the power of God’s Word through YouVersion! And, you can be part of it by becoming a monthly giver.

When you give, you help:

Continue to get the Bible to every country
Translate Scripture into every language in the world by 2033
Millions of people experience life change by connecting with God through His Word every day

When you set up a recurring gift of US$36, you help get the Bible App to 90 people every month.

“Before the Bible App, I struggled to maintain a relationship with God for most of my life. I feel like God sent this Bible App to me because since I downloaded it, I’ve grown a lot in my spiritual life and relationship with God.”

JOANNA, NIGERIA

We can’t wait to see how God uses your generosity to reach people like Joanna all around the world.

Let’s celebrate 16 years of impact!

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.

Give Now

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.

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

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.

I Want to Give

Together, let’s spread the hope of God’s Word!

Together, let’s change the world—one Bible at a time.

Change the world by doubling your impact today!

Mastone plants churches in villages in Zambia. He used to travel many miles, carrying physical Bibles to remote areas in Africa and crossing through fires and dangerous waters.

“It’s something hard. At times you want to cry and say, ‘I can’t do this.’”

MASTONE, ZAMBIA

But, Mastone’s life and ministry completely changed when he discovered the Bible App, making it easier for him to take God’s Word from village to village.

“The Bible App has everything. We get the Bluetooth speaker, everyone is able to hear in their mother tongue, and we learn God’s Word together.”

It’s because of these remote areas that we created Bible App Lite—an app made for people with low internet connectivity to easily access God’s Word.

Thanks to a generous donor, every one-time gift given by May 20 will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to US$500,000 and go toward Bible App Lite.

Give a One-Time Gift

Together, we’re equipped to reach everyone, everywhere, every day with God’s Word!
