So, Christiana inspired me to try the Bible in a year challenge. I found the YouVersion Bible App and downloaded it on my iphone and I’ve been trying to keep up everyday. I don’t always manage to, but I always go back and start again from where I stopped. It has been really great so far especially because of the different versions available on and off line. I also think it’s so cute how they reward you with points and stars even when you’ve only managed to keep up for a few days! Lol. It’s very cute and a little encouraging. A celebration of mediocrity perhaps but what the hell, I’ll take it! Lol. I was well pleased when I got this message from them yesterday, celebrating their excellent work. I’d encourage everyone to download the YouVersion Bible App and get on one of the reading plans.

“God is up to something amazing…

The Bible App just reached 100 MILLION installs on smartphones and tablets around the world!

The goal to reach 100 million by July 10 wasn’t reasonable. We knew something extraordinary would have to happen for us to get here…and it did. You, the incredible YouVersion community, responded in a huge way. We didn’t just hit our target—we beat it by a few days. Thank you!

YouVersion represents a global coalition of people passionate about helping others engage with God’s Word. To all of the Bible societies and Bible publishers, churches, pastors, and volunteers: thank you for your generosity!

What’s most exciting about this milestone is what it represents: today people are interacting with the Bible on a scale we’ve never witnessed before. It’s awe-inspiring to see what God is doing.

And we believe this is just the beginning. It starts with 100 million. What would it look like if more than 1 billion people could access God’s Word, anytime, anywhere, and in any language?

Let’s find out together. Ours could truly be the most Bible-engaged generation in history!”

With all the madness in the world today, it’s easy for Christians to feel alone and as if God isn’t really present in the world today. But that’s not the case. The world is hungrier than ever before for substance and truth. I pray the people behind the YouVersion Bible App never get discouraged, they’re doing such great work….besides, I need me my points and stars!
