How Generosity Can Help Change a Life: Diya’s Story

What do you do when you feel overwhelmed, scared, or powerless?

For Diya, she turned to God’s Word in YouVersion during a dark time, and Scripture became her lifeline.

When you give to YouVersion, you make stories like Diya’s possible:

When Diya moved from New Zealand to India, she found herself with no connections, no community, and no church.

“The very first thought I had when I opened my eyes was that I didn’t deserve to exist. I felt very alone, and that I had nothing to offer.”

Diya knew she needed to turn to Jesus, but she didn’t know where to begin.

“It wasn’t until I connected with Scripture in YouVersion that I was able to change the way I think.”

Through YouVersion, God met Diya in her despair and provided hope and healing when she needed it most.

You can be a part of what God is doing through YouVersion.

When you live a life of generosity, you’re helping people all over the world experience the life-changing power of God’s Word.

Will you join the movement by giving a gift today?

The best way to contribute to YouVersion is by setting up a recurring gift.

WHAT YOU’RE SAYING

“My reading disability has always affected me…”

CHRIS, UNITED STATES

For years, when it came to reading the Bible, I was limited to a surface-level understanding.

But when I started using the OpenDyslexic font in YouVersion and listening to Audio Bibles, my experience completely changed. I could finally fully encounter God through His Word.

My reading disability has been a source of shame, but having YouVersion care about my needs helps me feel supported and known.

P.S. To listen to Audio Bibles, open your favorite Bible version in the app and tap the speaker icon at the top of your screen.
