Sowers October Update

I study God's Word daily now, and it's because of the Bible App.

Because of your continued generosity, people like Joanna are experiencing God for the first time through His Word in the Bible App…

Joanna was born into a Christian home but never had a real relationship with Jesus. She was burdened by shame and the weight of her mistakes.

“I knew what I had to do to fix this, but I couldn’t bring myself to get on my knees and make things right with God…”

The only prayer she could pray without feeling guilty was for God’s grace to find her.

And God’s grace did find her in September 2021 through the Bible App. Since then, she has grown tremendously in her walk with God.

“…When I’m confused about what to do or sad about my circumstances, I turn to the Bible App…”

Joanna is so grateful that God, despite all that is going on in the world, speaks to her daily through His Word.

“…The thing I love most about the Bible App is that it doesn’t allow me to wallow in self-pity or hatred every time I sin. It’s like God is saying to me, ‘I still love you very much and will always listen to you.’”


You get to be part of stories of life change like this.

In uncertain times, these stories can keep us connected to the reality, strength, and comfort God so selflessly provides through His Word.

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day. Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts. The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Psalm 46:1-7 NIV

Mario

“When I finished reading the Bible, I realized that my life had turned 180°.”

Mario, The Netherlands

As a Sower, you are a vital part of our mission to make the Bible accessible to everyone, everywhere, every day.

Every second, nearly 300 people open the Bible App.

One of those people is Mario. When he had nowhere else to turn, he felt peace that only God could give him through His Word, and it changed his life.


In case you missed it…

Thousands of Sowers joined live from 67 countries for our first-ever Virtual Sowers Gathering last month!

Being a Sower can mean something different for every person, but the mission stays the same.

To celebrate and encourage your generosity as a Sower, our team has written a brand-new Sowers Plan specifically for you!
