Thank you for faithfully sowing the seed of God’s Word this year.

Because of your generosity, we celebrated a huge milestone for God’s Word and experienced record-breaking days of people engaging with the Bible.

Here’s what you helped make possible in 2025…

1 Billion+ All-Time Installs Across YouVersion’s Family of Apps 15.7 Million+ People Engaging with Scripture Daily 550 Million+ Bible Verse Shares This Year

Behind every number is a person whose life is being transformed by the power of God’s Word.

“I was in a dark place. After a suicide attempt, I found myself in the hospital.”

During a deep season of depression, Collin hit rock bottom and tried to end his life. He woke up in a hospital room—lost, hurting, and without hope. That’s when his brother came to see him.

“My brother shared the Bible App with me, and it gave me hope.”

As Collin began reading the Bible App and returning to church, God rebuilt his hope and restored his life. Today, Collin is a pastor, husband, father, and mentor to young believers.

Because of you, stories like Collin’s are happening every day. Billions around the world are opening God’s Word—and it’s changing their lives.

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
