‘Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.’ – Amos 8:11-12
Thank God that right now we have abundance of the Word of God. You will find it right there on your phone, on computers, on paper, today, just about everywhere in the world. For that purpose alone the Internet was created and before you get to harsh on me for stating that, consider that the printing press was invented to print the Bible. Sounds far-fetched? To me, not really. God comes first, then the world follows. It has been and it will always be this way.
So much for an introduction.
We have invested lots of time to develop the New WP App and I hope you already checked it out. Finnally, it seems we have an app that comprised all the languages present in our website -that is, over 70 languages. Your Verse of the Day shows up faithfully every single day, and you should not miss it. Today’s verse is below:
You may build a list of favorite verses, as below. Then tou can send them to your favorite friends, and maybe your enemies too, if you have any.
If you wish to learn a language, like Italian, for example, you may set the app on two-language mode and there you have it: you press play, to hear one language and follow the other.
Well, if that is not enough, than consider that this is an Audio Player that will play the Holy Bible to you, chapter by chapter. You do not need to do anything, just let it play, from dawn to dusk, and beyond.
If you like the reader to read faster you may adjust that, if you like the pitch to be lower, you may adjust that too. No excuse to not listen and read the Word of God in the 21st century. Praise the Lord.
Most of the major language of the world are there, from Amharic to Zulu, from Chinese to Turkish, plus languages you probably did not know they existed.
The Android version is here

IOS version is coming. Meanwhile, if you do not have Android than use the website – just about everything in the App comes from there.
To make all this work we need servers. People who serve and machines that serve. Phil was a great help this month in updating out audio and web servers. It seems to be working now better and faster than ever. Thank you all for your support and prayers.
Here are some interesting comments from users this month:
I downloaded this on my phone and my tablet so when the battery gets flat on one device, I can listen on the other. My eyesight isn't so great so I love being able to listen to the bible. The man's voice is very pleasant. Thank you. God bless. DP Thank you Lord for your Word. Thank you for the instruments you choose for its broadcast. Thanks Wordproject. TH I love it because i can read it in any language i want It's amazing!!! RS New APP: This is a very nice ad-free Bible app. It has lots of languages, and when I clicked on a verse it started playing it! It can even show two different languages at the same time which is helping me learn Italian! 5 stars! PS I would give you more than five stars if I could. An incredible improvement you have made to the previous version. The dark mode, scrolling screen, highlighted text that is read, the screen on, and playing an audio from the verse of one's choice make this app a germ. Vell done. Regards. A.
But, there will be a time, as the Prophet Amos said, this might not be possible. Thus we should read it now and keep it in your hearts and minds.
Then, once in awhile, we get emails like this, whereof we can only say amen:

And here are the monthly stats:
Love and prayers.
