The Bible app’s new social feature will allow readers to form a close group of friends and interact with them about Scripture. Last year, there were over 31 million shares of Bible verses via Twitter, Facebook, email and text. In response to data indicating high social use of the app, YouVersion is adding a new social feature of the Bible app. And, over 67-percent switch between Bible versions. It’s changing the overall Bible experience.Īccording to the survey, over 77-percent of respondents read the Bible more frequently because they have it on their mobile device. In addition, a survey found that YouVersion’s Bible app isn’t just changing how people access Scripture. Pray lives will change as people read the Gospel in their heart languages.
“While you wouldn’t think that people have access, via their smartphones, in some of these smaller language communities,” states Creson, “the truth is that more and more people have that technology.” Creson says it’s the minority translation used most on YouVersion’s Bible app. Hawaiian Pidgin is a form of Creole spoken by 600, 000 people, according to 1986 measurements. Wycliffe’s contribution actually is for some of the smaller, minority language communities.” “Most people, when they think of YouVersion, they think of some of the larger languages like English, Portuguese, Mandarin, and even Korean. “We upload to the digital Bible library, created by Every Tribe, Every Nation, and then YouVersion pulls those texts out using their platform,” Creson explains. People that speak lesser-known languages, like Hawaiian Pidgin, can read Scripture on YouVersion’s app thanks to Wycliffe. “What we’re trying to do is create those opportunities for the Holy Spirit to use God’s Word, the inspired Word of God, to change people’s lives,” says Bob Creson of Wycliffe Bible Translators USA. If so, you might be one of the 100 million downloads that puts this app among the ranks of brands like Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
