One of the most exciting developments in the last couple of years has been the creation of YouVersion... an online Bible experience.
Now there is nothing new about an on-line Bible, but where YouVersion separates itself from the pack is it's innovation.
YouVersion has 16 English versions of the Bible. Nice.
But where it really leaves the rest of the pack behind is in the following 3 areas:
1) Interactive focus.
One can make contributions about verses that one has read that are available to anyone reading the verse.
One can also host live events through the mobile application. More on this later in the post.
2) Community Focus
You can form groups, where you can compare notes and even study together.
3) Mobile application.
Lifechurch.tv have made the mobile application available for free. If your phone is web enabled, you can download a version for your phone. 1 out of every 27 iPhones has the YouVersion Bible application on their phone!
Putting these all together is the latest feature... the hosting of 'Live' events.
If you have the latest version of the YouVersion Bible on your phone you will be able to connect with a live event happening in Eastside's 6pm service.
This includes: notes of the message, questions, polls, twitter comments, Bible reader, etc.
We will be running the Live events starting this Sunday in the 6pm service for a time to trial these exciting features.
If you haven't downloaded the app for your phone yet... what are you waiting for? You can download the app from iTunes for free.
I'd love to hear your feedback from this weeks first trial run. Please do leave a comment on this blog or comment through the live event.
