This #GivingTuesday ❤️ reach the world.

Today is Giving Tuesday, a social movement that helps people give back by donating time, money, or influence to a cause they feel passionate about. Celebrated the Tuesday after Cyber Monday, it's a day to encourage kindness and generosity.

The Bible App is completely free, without any advertising or hidden costs. At YouVersion, we do what we do because God's Word has the power to transform lives. We hope that engaging with God's Word through the Bible App has drawn you closer to Him. We'd encourage you to take another step in your journey:

Help other people share in that same experience by giving to YouVersion.

Volunteering is another way you can participate in YouVersion's mission. Around the world, people from all walks of life are helping others engage with the Bible: by helping us localize the Bible App into their language, by providing technical support to other Bible App users, and by helping our communications team review and manage content. You can help, too. All you need is an Internet connection, a little time, and a passion for using your gifts to serve others. Learn more:

Starting a Bible study with your small group.
Working through a challenging issue with one or two close friends.
