YouVersion, Glorify, Hallow, and More Celebrate Global Bible Month in November
Three leading Scripture engagement apps, YouVersion, Glorify and Hallow, are joining forces to celebrate the power of God’s Word by establishing Global Bible Month this November. With collaboration driving this movement, those who might be considered competitors are instead uniting behind a common mission, including organizations like BibleProject, Wonder Project, He Gets Us, Come and See and The Chosen.
Beginning November 1, the 30-Day Bible Challenge invites people from all walks of life to engage with Scripture consistently for a month. Research shows that reading the Bible four or more days each week changes lives, and throughout November, people around the world can experience that transformation. More than 1.5 million people have already committed to taking the challenge.
By signing up online, participants choose how they want to engage in the Bible, including reading their favorite print Bible or digitally through an app. Participants can choose to engage in Glorify’s Global Bible Month Challenge “30 Days of Devotionals focused on God’s Alive and Active Words,” take Hallow’s new Bible Sleep Story Challenge featuring Jonathan Roumie, or select from hundreds of new 30-day Plans in the YouVersion Bible App.
The campaign’s reach extends from iconic global landmarks—with coordinated displays at Times Square in New York City, Sphere in Las Vegas, and Christ the Redeemer in Brazil—to the Dead Sea Scrolls on display at The Museum of the Bible and curated Bible-related content on Amazon Prime.
“As people search for what's real and true, the Bible stands alone. We believe the mission to share it is bigger than any one platform,” said Bobby Gruenewald, Founder and CEO of YouVersion. “When you see organizations that could compete choosing to work together, you're witnessing something remarkable: people united around God's Word. That's worth celebrating.”
“Global Bible Month is about one thing: helping people everywhere engage with Him in a way that feels personal and possible. When we stand together in that mission, we’re advancing His Kingdom and sharing His love with the world,” said Glorify Founder and CEO, Henry Costa.
“What an honor to join in this celebration of the Bible,” said Alex Jones, Hallow CEO and Co-Founder. “And what a great opportunity to celebrate the incredible things God is doing in the world through His Word. It's a privilege to be a part of inviting us all to dive deeper into Scripture together.”
This November, YouVersion is also approaching the celebration of 1 billion installs worldwide. Their family of apps has seen record-breaking levels of engagement with God’s Word this year, including 15.8M daily users, a 16.5% increase from the previous year.
This momentum will culminate in the historic one-night event, Beyond a Billion, taking place on November 17 at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City. In celebration of the Book that changes everything, the event will feature powerful worship and special guests, including Lauren Daigle, CeCe Winans, Craig Groeschel, and more.
