Glo Bible and YouVersion Team Up


by

With millions of online and mobile users, YouVersion is teaming up with Glo the 2010 Bible of the Year to inspire and encourage people to read the Bible in a whole new way. This partnership will bring two innovative like–minded technology organizations together to promote Bible engagement.

Bobby Gruenewald, Pastor, Innovation Leader at LifeChurch.tv (creators of YouVersion), said:

By merging the timeless wisdom of God’s Word with devices people use every day, we’ve seen firsthand how technology can boost Scripture engagement. Bringing YouVersion into the Glo environment offers individuals powerful tools to interact with the Bible, and we’re excited to see how they help people learn and grow.

While their mission is the same, their platform focus is different. The Bible App by YouVersion is the most downloaded Bible app on mobile devices, while Glo focuses on desktops and tablet devices that best showcase experiential zoom capabilities and high-resolution media.
