All it takes is $32/month! That $32/month provides:

Educational opportunities
Health care and supplemental nutrition
Opportunities for safe recreation
Opportunities to learn about important life skills
Allow them to hear about Jesus and be encouraged to develop a lifelong relationship with God.

YouVersion

Published by YAvillage.com under This Just In...

YouVersion is a new web application that brings the Bible to Web2.0! It’s brought to you by the LifeChurch.tv people.

Here are deets from a post at blog.youversion.com.

YouVersion is a free online Bible that allows users to associate video, audio, images, text, tags, and links to other websites with any verse or series of verses in the Bible. Each piece of contributed content can be labeled as public or private, so the application can be used both as a personal study tool and a public expression of user-generated commentary. In addition to contributing content, Scripture can be organized by assigning user-defined “tags” to any verse of the Bible.

For users who are skeptical about whether the Bible has application for their lives, YouVersion provides a platform to learn from the experiences and perspectives of others from around the world in a non-threatening and easily navigated environment.

It’s currently in public beta testing. Here are more deets from a post at Swerve.LifeChurch.tv.

• Search for scripture, jump to a book/chapter/verse, or scroll through our Bible Reader
• Star verses and content
• Tag verses and content
• Contribute and/or associate images, videos, links, and text to verses or series of verses
• Start journaling in the “My Journal” feature
• See what others are sharing
• Email items to your friends and family
• Rate content
• And so much more…

Everything is free and will remain free, but to interact with some of the personalized features you’ll need to go through a simple registration process.

And even more deets from a post at digital.leadnet.org.

easily link to verse(s) or embed into your own blog or website (#21; even as a WordPress plugin) — dream of an easy-to-use hyperlink for a Bible verse something like http://www.youversion.com/John/3.16/kjv/ (merely hypothetical; I think the Digerati team will figure out an even better solution)

facilitating group Bible studies (#25) — sometimes Bible studies are done topically with a carefully selected set of verses, and if YouVersion could pull those verses into a handy one-page print version, that’d be a very nice feature

most popular verse or user-generated content of the day, week, month, or all time — I know for me, to browse the things that are creating the most buzz at social networks and/or on the Web is compelling and engaging, and to see what’s popular within the Bible could be really insightful

highest-rated verse or user-generated content — similarly, people can rate things associated with a Bible verse or passage; the essence of this wild idea is that anything you can do with content on the Web, you should be able to do with the Bible

automagically link to user-generated content outside of YouVersion — this would be a big-bonus idea along the lines of Technorati; so that blog can ping the YouVersion server, and link in user-generated content without having to login to YouVersion; the big idea here is to make it very easy to link in user-generated content with YouVersion

Joshua also made some bad life choices. Choices that almost cost him everything, choices that he regretted. He was kinda like…me and you?

Steven Furtick teaches at Elevation. His recent message, Accelerated Victory, is about Joshua and how God helped him through his rough times. And how God can help you through your rough times. Click Here to watch Accelerated Victory.
