Despite the global challenges of this year, God has used every situation to draw people closer to Him. Before the pandemic even began, God was preparing His Church to be a beacon of hope and healing to a hurting world.
“Every day I wake up and there’s this longing to pick up my phone to see what God says. [YouVersion] has helped to keep my life in check and to read God’s Word on a daily basis. It has given me a lot to meditate on, and the different translations YouVersion offers have given me a clearer understanding of what the Scriptures say. I’m glad I’m part of this move of God.”
—Blessing, Nigeria
God’s Spirit is moving, drawing people to Himself in numbers we’ve never seen before, in a year we couldn’t have anticipated.
Even in our world’s hardest moments, God’s light is growing stronger.
“My life had been a rollercoaster until God revealed Himself to me. I sold drugs for a living and was addicted to many of them. I was tired of living and thought earth would be a better place without me. But after a lot of uneasy consideration, I decided to give it one more shot. I had been to many traditional rehabilitation centers, but I finally went to a faith-based program. God presented Himself almost immediately once I made it to the program and started seeking His Word. Every time I open YouVersion, God’s light grew stronger and my withdrawals dissipated. Eventually, it led to where I’m at now—filled with His Word and four months clean with no urges to use or sell drugs.”
—Justin, USA
