So he saw it in the App Store and downloaded it, and as he read the Bible, it resonated with him. And he started to change his perspective until he decided to put God in the center of his life.
He said, ‘I went from googling ways to die to having lasting joy and peace, all because of the Bible,’ and specifically through our app.
So that’s an example of God’s Word literally saving someone’s life, like physical life.
And we hear stories like that, actually, all the time.
Another one is [about a man] from Iran. He grew up in Iran and was taught to follow Islam. He started reading Scripture to strengthen his Islamic beliefs. But he actually fell in love with the God of the Bible.
Now, he didn’t start reading Scripture in the Bible app. He had portions of Scripture in different books, never had a full Bible.
And he got in trouble in Iran because he was sharing his faith, and they confiscated his Bibles (they were just like portions of Scripture in different books).
But the officials took [those books] and then told him that he would go to prison if he continued evangelizing.
That’s when he actually downloaded the Bible app. And then, for the first time ever, he had the full Bible instead of just pieces of Scripture.
Now that he had access to the full Bible, he read it from front to back, from Genesis to Revelation, which emboldened him to share his faith even more.
And so the Bible app gave him a way to strengthen his faith and to reach more people.
So it’s somebody that basically went from physical to digital in an environment where having the physical Bible was problematic, but the Bible app was a resource and a tool for him to have access to the Bible in Iran.
