New Egyptian app helps 120,000

With churches closed due to the Covid lockdown and large events prohibited, Bible work in Egypt fell significantly in 2020. But the digital world came to the rescue, with remarkable results.

In January 2020, before the pandemic struck, The Bible Society developed a new app guiding people to read though the whole Bible in a year. By December, 5.7 million chapters had been requested by 121,392 different users.

One user, Miriam, said she was delighted at the impact it had on her and her friends. ‘God opened a door for me to spread His word. I send the daily readings to 100 people and they are all happy receiving it’.
