That’ s why OMS has proudly partnered with YouVersion— a free Bible app that engages 14 million worldwide users daily. Together, we offer Bible plans that inspire and equip believers. These plans allow people from all walks of life to get excited about missions in a way that’ s meaningful and impactful.
Right now, we offer eight Bible plans in English and seven in Spanish, all with a strong focus on missions. Each one is designed to challenge and inspire people to live out their faith, whether that means sharing the Gospel in their local communities or answering the call to go out into the nations. Currently, our plans vary in length from four to seven days, making them practical for anyone. Topics include church planting insights, how Jesus was a man on a mission, and how he calls us to join his mission. The response has been incredible. So far, more than 15,000 people have subscribed to our plans, and we’ re seeing worldwide engagement.
One YouVersion reader shared,“ Thank you for the excellent seven-day study! I’ ve recently learned the incredible relevance of Paul’ s words to the church in Thessalonica. Taking the time to dissect them further was terrific!”
One of the most exciting aspects is the accessibility. Anyone with a smart phone or internet connection can dive right in.
Even in places like Africa, where we’ ve worked to provide digital Bible resources, people are using those resources to access the plans. The reach is truly limitless. By engaging with and inspiring people to spread the Word of God, these plans aid in fulfilling OMS’ mission:“ To engage the one to reach the many, multiplying disciples, churches, leaders, and missionaries for Jesus Christ.”
Looking ahead, we hope to expand to include 30-day plans and add more languages so that these Bible plans can reach more people around the world. To start a plan, search for OMS on the YouVersion Bible app or click here, where new plans are added as they become available.
With tools like the YouVersion Bible plans, God’ s Word is reaching the nations in ways we never could have imagined.
