The popular YouVersion Bible App for phones has reached a new download milestone, surpassing a quarter of a billion downloads.

Created in 2008 as one of the 200 apps available in the iPhone app store, the YouVersion Bible App reached the 250 million download mark on Monday.

In comments emailed to The Christian Post, Bobby Gruenewald, Life. Church innovation pastor and YouVersion founder, said he “never could have imagined how many people would come to rely on it every day, all around the world.”

“God has done far more through the Bible App than we could have asked or imagined, especially in bringing forth a diverse group of people and organizations to rally around a common mission,” said Gruenewald.

Adding, “Translators, publishers, Bible societies, churches, authors, and hundreds of volunteers have come together as a massive coalition all with one purpose: to help people fully engage in the Bible.”
