The hugely popular YouVersion Bible App recently hit the 1,000 mark in terms of number of Bible translations, with over 700 languages available, and creator Bobby Gruenewald said he hopes the milestone will help draw attention to the amount of dedication and effort it takes to translate the Bible into native languages.

“One of the things I’m excited about in celebrating this milestone of 1,000 versions is that for a lot of people it’s going to bring an awareness to the translation effort that’s underway by a number of partners, including Wycliffe and the Bible Society, and various other translation groups that are making Bible text available to the Bible App,” Gruenewald, the Innovation Pastor of LifeChurch.tv in Oklahoma, told The Christian Post.

“What I did not appreciate or fully understand when we first started the process was that each of these translations that are done, they often times take decades to complete. It involves people that have invested, in some cases, their entire ministry life working on developing a translation for a new language.”
