Give to something giving hope

World Map

If you could help change the world … would you?

Providing hope found in God’s Word is one of the best gifts we can give to a world facing despair.

And, it’s a gift that changes everything.

- Luis R.

“I was aware of the Bible, but I never found the chance to read it. I didn’t know where to start. But once I started using the YouVersion app it was easier. Through reading Plans, I developed a habit that kept me reading the Bible every day—and that’s when I noticed a change in my life. I finally understood what Jesus did on the cross, and I invited Him into my life. My whole purpose in life has now changed. I want to say thank you to YouVersion for taking the Word of God and sharing it with millions of people around the world.”

– Luis R.

There are hundreds of millions of people like Luis in the YouVersion Community, and God is shaping each of them through His Word.

God’s Word is alive and active … and it’s transforming people just like you.

But for every person in our Community drawing near to God, there is someone outside our Community who hasn’t experienced the life-changing power of God and His Word yet. You can help change this…

This Giving Tuesday, make an immediate impact that has an eternal difference.

Think about the hope, joy, and peace you’ve found by drawing near to God through YouVersion. There are millions of people who still don’t know that this resource is just a tap away. But just imagine what life-change will happen when they find out.

Help advance a global movement by supporting
what God is doing through YouVersion.

Give Now

After you give, share on social media how God has used YouVersion in your life, use the hashtag #GivingTuesday, and tag us @YouVersion.

Good news of great joy is on the way

Advent

You don’t want to miss this…

Focus on what matters most this Christmas.

This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

1 JOHN 4:9

Do you ever feel like the holidays come and go before you’ve even had a chance to focus on the true reason for the season?

This year, don’t miss the moments leading up to Christmas.

Advent begins today, and it’s a great way to prepare our hearts to celebrate our Savior’s birth by reflecting on the hope, peace, love, and joy that Jesus brought to the world. Get started by completing an Advent Plan:

“Share” your gratitude this Thanksgiving.

Give Thanks to the Lord, he is good, his love endures forever.

Who are you grateful for?

Celebrate the people God has placed in your life.

Studies have shown that people who express gratitude experience a variety of benefits—including improved sleep, higher stress tolerance, and more meaningful relationships.

While those things are terrific, they don’t compare to the greatest benefit of practicing gratitude: it draws us closer to God.

Expressing gratitude helps us notice all that God is doing in our lives. It allows us to praise Him by acknowledging His care, presence, and timing.

This Thanksgiving, don’t just think about the people God has placed in your life, but tell them that they matter to you—and why.

Share your gratitude with the people who’ve positively impacted your life with this special Verse Image.

YouVersion is celebrating 500 million installs!

It started as a question.

“What if we could use technology to help people engage more consistently with the Bible?”

In 2008, it turned into the YouVersion Bible App—one of the first 200 free apps on the App Store.

What began as a desire to make Scripture accessible to everyone has now become a global movement of people committed to seeking God every day through His Word.

It’s a movement you’re a part of…

… A movement that’s now been installed on half a billion devices.

A movement made possible because…

The Bible is ALIVE

Celebrate this historic moment.

Something BIG is happening.

God is actively at work through YouVersion—and hundreds of millions of people are a part of it.

Every time someone installs YouVersion, they’re getting instant access to a Community centered around the Bible. A Community that’s inviting God to shape their lives through Scripture, Bible Plans, and Prayer.

Tony R.

“Once I found [YouVersion], studied, read Plans, and connected with others, I was hooked on the power of God flowing through the YouVersion Community.”

Tony R.

God is not finished.

Today we’re celebrating 500 million installs … but we’re not just reflecting on what God has done, we’re looking forward to what He’ll do next.

Imagine a day in the near future when 1 billion people have installed YouVersion.

You can help make this happen.

The best way to help us celebrate this historic moment is by sharing YouVersion with someone in your life who hasn’t been transformed by God’s Word yet.

There are millions of people still waiting to be transformed by the Bible, and you are perfectly positioned to reach some of them. Allow God to actively work through you by inviting others to discover that The Bible is Alive.

Share YouVersion

When you share YouVersion from inside the app,
you’ll earn the Share YouVersion Badge.
