It is reasonable to think that the more readers put into the Bible app in the form of small investments, the more it becomes a repository of their history of worship. Like a worn dog-eared book, full of scribbled insights and wisdom, the app becomes a treasured asset not easily discarded.

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!
