Sowers 2025 Mid-Year Impact Update

Thank you for your faithful generosity and commitment to this mission!

God is doing amazing things through His Word this year, and we want to take a moment to celebrate with you.

Because of your generosity, here’s what God has done so far in 2025…


  • 53M+ New Installs Across Our Family of Apps
  • 1.3B+ Highlights, Bookmarks, and Notes
  • 208M+ Bible Verses Shared

Each of these numbers represents a life that’s been transformed by God’s Word.

“I was in a dark place. After a suicide attempt, I found myself in the hospital. That’s when my brother shared the Bible App with me, and it gave me hope. The Verse of the Day was enough to speak to me and make me want a real relationship with God. Six years later, I graduated with a theological qualification and now serve as a pastor at my church.”

In September 2022, we launched Bible App Lite to help people in remote areas with low internet connectivity easily access Scripture.

On March 23, Bible App Lite saw a record-breaking day of people engaging with God’s Word.

Thanks to our Bible Partners, we’ve added 84 new Bible languages to the Bible App this year!

With these new languages, we’re continuing to take God’s Word to some of the hardest-to-reach areas in the world. And, for the first time, the Lambya people of Malawi can read the entire Bible in their own heart language!

Thank you.

God is using your generosity to reach millions—soon to be billions—with His Word!

As we prepare to celebrate our Bible apps reaching one billion devices, let’s pray together and ask that more people will experience the hope, truth, and life of God’s Word.

As you pray, think about someone in your life who needs that hope. Share the life-changing power of the Bible with them today!

This is a historic moment for the Bible…

Because of God’s surpassing faithfulness and your support, we’re on track to reach one billion installs across our Family of Apps later this year!

This milestone has happened faster than we anticipated, and your generosity played a crucial role in making it happen. Thank you!

But this is more than a milestone.

One billion installs means that more people than ever before will have access to the life-changing power of God’s Word right at their fingertips.

The moment we’re in is special. God is doing something incredible through His Word, and you’re part of it.

As we get ready to celebrate this milestone with our entire YouVersion Community, we want you to know how deeply grateful we are for you.

Thank you for your generosity, prayers, and commitment to sharing God’s Word with the world. We can’t wait to see how God continues to use you to reach a billion and beyond.

Let’s pray for life change this Easter!

As a Sower, you are a vital part of our goal to spread the Good News of Jesus this Easter! Thank you.

Last Easter, more people than ever engaged with YouVersion during Holy Week:

Easter statistics. 16.8 million people opened God’s Word on Easter Sunday. 3.5 million people installed one of our Bible apps. 2.7 million Prayers were created. 13.7 million Bible verses were shared.

This record-breaking engagement is possible because of you, and we believe that God will reach even more people this Easter.

That’s why we want to invite you to join us in prayer for the lives that will be changed this week through God’s Word:


  • Jesus,
  • Thank You for the sacrifice You made on the cross, rescuing us from our anxieties, pain, and sin. “It is finished” was not the end but the beginning of the new life we have in You.
  • As we prepare to celebrate Your resurrection, we pray for those who don’t know You yet.
  • We know You care for the broken, hurting, and lost. We pray that You would reach them through Your Word—revealing the hope, love, peace, and joy that can only be experienced through a relationship with You.
  • In Jesus’ Name,
  • Amen.
