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.

What It Means That Google Chose Us

In March 2026, Google launched, for the first time, the Google Play Apps Accelerator: a global program that selected only 38 apps worldwide to take part in 12 weeks of acceleration, including mentorship from Google experts, masterclasses with industry leaders, and exclusive access to specialists from some of the biggest app companies in the world.

Bible AI was selected.

We are one of only two Brazilian apps among the 38 chosen worldwide. Other participants come from countries such as the United States, Japan, Germany, South Korea, and the United Kingdom.

This isn’t luck. It’s the result of what we are building—and of the entire journey you’ve walked with us to get here. And above all, it is because of what God has been doing.

Why this matters to you

When Google selects an app for this program, it’s saying: this app has real potential to grow and impact people around the world.

For us, it means more resources, more mentorship, and greater capacity to improve Bíblia AI in the coming months—so it can serve even better those who seek to go deeper into the Word.

And for you, Bíblia JFA users who have been with us for years: this recognition was only possible because you’ve been here since the beginning. The credibility we’ve built together is part of what Google saw in us.
