We graduated from the Google Play Apps Accelerator 2026

We believe that technology and faith can walk hand in hand. This conviction has driven us since the very first day of the JFA Bible, and over the past few months it has led us to experience one of the most remarkable chapters in our history: we graduated with our new Bible AI app as part of the first global cohort of the Google Play Apps Accelerator 2026. We want to share with you not only the outcome, but also the behind-the-scenes journey of everything that happened. The invitation that changed our year At the end of 2025, Google launched the first edition of the Google Play Apps Accelerator, a pioneering global program that selected only 38 high-potential apps from around the world. Among them, only two were Brazilian, and Bible AI was one of them. We received the news with a mix of joy and gratitude. 12 weeks of the program During twelve intensive weeks, we immersed ourselves in masterclasses led by leaders in the global tech industry, one-on-one mentoring sessions covering everything from technical scalability to leadership, and exclusive conversations with experts from Google and some of the world’s largest technology companies. Every session helped us think bigger, […]

Google chose us… Here’s why

If you use the Bible JFA app, this news is yours too. For the past 15 years, we’ve built something together that we never imagined would go this far: over 130 million downloads, with 3 million people opening the app every month to read, study, and connect with the Word of God. These numbers aren’t just ours—they belong to every person who opened the app in a difficult moment, who read a verse before going to sleep, and who shared a passage with someone who needed it. To everyone who has trusted our work. It’s this foundation, built with great care and faith, that gives us the courage to now create new tools. Introducing Bible AI Bible AI (B.AI) is our newest app. A personalized Bible study experience powered by artificial intelligence, designed to learn how you study and walk alongside your spiritual journey—always staying faithful to the biblical text while supporting you in a personal and individual way. It is not a replacement for Bible JFA. It’s the next step for those who want to go deeper—to ask questions, follow their devotional time, develop more in-depth studies and sermons, and much more.

New reading plans!

Bible Offline has an area with many reading plans. And you may never have used this feature that helps our users so much. But we are sure that you will be interested in the new reading plans that are available in the app. Reading plans are super important. We are fully convinced that the Holy Spirit enlightens us in our daily readings for ourselves. But God’s Word says that it is important to seek knowledge and also to heed the instructions and counsel of the wise. Proverbs 10:14 “The wise gather up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool is an imminent ruin.” Proverbs 11:14 “If there is no wise direction, the people fall, but in the multitude of counselors there is security.” Reading plans are meant to help you in your daily life and also to make you accumulate knowledge. How do plans work? Too easy! Just search your menu for the “Plans” section and select the one that best fits what God has spoken to your heart. After that you will click the button in the lower right corner and start your reading. Once a day you will have access to devotional content on the theme of the […]

The Importance of Reforms

On October 31, most Christians celebrate the Reformation Day. Much more than creating a “new denomination”. Reformation facilitated access to the reading of the Word of God. And, aligned with new technologies, it has allowed more people over the years to access to the holy scriptures. Today’s text is not an exhortation to the brothers. But rather a collection of curiosities that marked the story. Things that have made it possible for you, the reader, to have such easy access to the words of eternal life. The first translations The first “revolution” that facilitated access to God’s Word was called ‘Septuagint’. In the first century after Christ, seventy sages were gathered to translate the Old Testament from Hebrew to Greek. This was the language most used by the Gentiles at the time. History says this was crucial for the apostles of Jesus to succeed in their preaching and spreading the gospel among people who were unaware of the Hebrew line. Remember that the Apostle Paul founded churches in Greece. Another big step taken was the Latin vulgate. In the year 386 after Christ, a great biblist named Jeronimo was appointed to translate the Bible into Latin. This facilitated diffusion throughout […]
