The YouVersion Bible app has now reached a whopping 200 million+ installs globally.

When the app was launched back in 2008, there were 12 versions of God's Word offered, in 2 languages.

Today, there are 1,200+ Bible versions in about 900 languages and counting, with Persian being one of the most recent language additions.

And that latest addition has caused the installation of YouVersion to skyrocket in Iran especially, where installs of the app are up a spectacular 1886%!
