New App Shares the Bible’s Message of Hope with the World
Join us as we pray for everyone everywhere reading the Bible every day in 2021
Thank you for praying for people around the world to engage God’s Word via the new Bible2020 app. Created last year by the Scottish Bible Society, Bible 2020 was designed to bring people together to read, hear, and speak the words of the Bible.
And it did just that! More than 5 million Bible passages have been shared globally by almost 240,000 people in 133 countries. Videos were also created and shared on the app. We praise God that in a year unlike any other, Bible 2020 has been a source of comfort and strength.
That’s why we’re happy to share some exciting news with you.
Bible 2020 is continuing into 2021
As the world continues to grapple with a global pandemic, political unrest, economic upheaval, and deep emotional and spiritual pain, now more than ever we need the Bible’s message of hope. That’s why Bible 2020 is continuing into 2021.
What better time in history to speak the words of God and to declare the promises in his Word, promises like Psalm 19:4 (CEV) which says, “The Law of the Lord is perfect; it gives us new life.” There are so many hurting people who need the promise of new life spoken over them. That’s what this app is designed to do.
The Bible 2020 app allows users to choose from 1,500 language versions and translations, they then film themselves reading the Bible aloud for one minute every day. Finally, the video wall links their video to people all around the world reading aloud the same passage in the same 24-hour period throughout the year. And just like that, thousands are united in declaring God’s promises over the earth.
We are praying for millions to join this global movement of speaking God’s words and we’re believing that it will transform lives, communities, and nations. Will you join us?
Let’s Pray Together
Father, we thank you for new tools like the Bible 2020 app which help unite us around your Word. We pray that as your Word is spoken that it will not return void as it says in Isaiah 55:11. We also pray that this united effort will spread the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.
