The EasyEnglish New Testament smart-phone app was judged by the Premier Digital Awards 2018 as one of the best launched in 2018.
It’s available free of charge and has already been downloaded in 150 countries around the world. The EasyEnglish Bible is a new version of Scripture using a limited vocabulary of just 1,200 words and simple syntax, and was devised by a small team of Mission Assist volunteers.
The idea for the EasyEnglish Bible followed a request from a pastor in West Africa who asked MissionAssist (then Wycliffe Associates UK) to put some Bible commentaries in an easy-to-read form for those to whom English was a second language. Today the EasyEnglish Bible website is getting more than 5 million visits a year from some 200 countries.
