Imagine if you didn’t have access to God’s Word…

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.

Let’s change that.

When you give to Bible Translation, your gift helps our global Bible partners who are translating Scripture into every language.

Together, we can get the Bible to everyone.

God’s Word is changing families, communities, and countries one translation at a time, and you can be part of it.

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.

Be part of someone’s story…

“I thought the Bible was boring and hard to understand.”

MARSHA, USA

Have you ever found it hard to really connect with God’s Word?

Marsha believed in God but still struggled to connect with Him through Scripture.

But everything changed when she discovered the Bible App and its 3,000 Bible versions. Through comparing versions, God’s Word sprung to life.

“I can now read and effectively concentrate on God and His Word. I no longer see God as a character in a book. God seems so real to me. I see Him as My Father, and His stories are real.”

God’s Word is transforming Marsha’s life, and it’s changing the lives of those around her.

Your generosity can help more people like Marsha experience the power of God’s Word.

When you give a gift of US$40, you’re making it possible for 200 people to download the Bible App and experience God’s Word.

Support the Mission: Celebrate 15 Years of Impact!

Do you remember the first time you read God’s Word and it changed your life?

Because of the Bible App, people around the world are being transformed by God’s Word every day.

In the past 15 years, we've seen… 1,965 Bible text languages added. 139 million Prayers created. 575.7 million app installs. 1.1 billion Verse Images shared. 16 billion Highlights, Bookmarks, and Notes made to verses.

The Bible App is, and always will be, free—but the impact of this ministry would not be what it is without the generosity of our YouVersion Community.

Join the movement to reach everyone, everywhere, every single day.

When you give a gift of US$40, you’re making it possible for 200 people to download the Bible App.

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 God’s Word.

Today, help us continue to bring God’s Word to billions of people in the next 15 years.

A Prayer for a Generous Heart

What’s your most prized possession? There’s nothing wrong with having things, or with enjoying them. The problem comes when our things have us.

Thankfully, God modeled a different way to live when He sacrificed His greatest treasure for us. His generosity is sacrificial and counter-cultural.

When we give like God does, and we honor Him with that giving, it draws us closer to Him. It causes us to stop looking at ourselves, and start looking out for others. The more we draw near to God, the more our priorities and values start to reflect His.

So, how do you live generously? It starts with asking God to give you a generous mindset. If you’re not sure how to do that, try praying this prayer.

God,

Thank You for showing me what generosity looks like. I confess that at times it’s easy for me to focus on things that don’t matter. But today, I surrender to Your will, trusting in You completely. Change the way I think, and give me a generous heart. Make me aware of the resources I have, and how I can use them to serve others. Help me to live a life that blesses others just as You have richly blessed me.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

When you surrender to God by living generously, it changes lives.

A gift of $40 US helps us get Bible App to 200 people—that’s 200 people around the world whose lives will be changed forever by the power of God’s Word.
