TTW in Japanese & Afrikaans!

Hello Through the Word!
Pastor Kris here with some really amazing news. Our Start Here plan for new believers just launched in two new languages on the YouVersion Bible app. We are now in Japanese and Afrikaans! How awesome is that?!! We're teaming up with the awesome team at YouVersion to translate Start Here into more than sixty languages, and these two are the first to launch. I can't even tell you how fun and amazing this is for me. We'll be adding more and more languages over the next few months. For now, the plan is just text - no audio (but we're hoping for audio in the future!). If you know anyone who speaks one of those languages, you can share it with them here:

Afrikaans: https://bible.com/af/reading-plans/13502-start-here-first-steps-with-jesus

Japanese: https://bible.com/ja/reading-plans/13502-start-here-first-steps-with-jesus

English: https://bible.com/reading-plans/13502-start-here-first-steps-with-jesus

Our vision for this plan is to create a discipleship tool for new believers in many languages - one that's easy for anyone to share for free anytime. You can share it now - in English! Just share the link to the plan with someone who's interested in checking out Jesus and the Bible. They can check it out on their own - or you can follow the plan with them!  As these catch on, we hope to follow up with audio plans - just like the TTW ones you love!  (Note: The graphics for the plan will be translated later - long story - with technicalities).

Thanks so much to those who worked hard on the translation, and to our amazing friends at YouVersion. And thanks to all of you for praying for us. Please keep it up!

In Christ,
Pastor Kris  = )

App Update - New Fixes

Hey there TTW! There's a brand new update for the TTW app available in the App Store as of today (January 15). No major changes, but we fixed a couple minor bugs that were affecting some users, including an issue with the Bible Audio player not working for some (or forcing you to close then reopen the page before playing it).  The app should also be a little more stable to reduce crashing. Our programmer Zach told me - if you're still having issues after getting the new update, try logging out then logging back in again on the app so that it will reload your data.

As always, please contact us at info@throughtheword.org to report any issues or challenges. We are always working to improve the app. In the app world, there are so many different devices that it's nearly impossible to test every feature on every phone, so we rely on you to let us know when there is an issue. Thanks so much to those of you who keep us informed! And thanks for your patience as we keep on improving!

And while you're in the App Store - why not give TTW a review! (Of course, if you don't like TTW, remember that you spell the app "C-A-N-D-Y C-R-U-S-H"). Just kidding. But seriously, if you have troubles - please email us before reporting an issue on a review. We appreciate the opportunity to make it right before telling the world. Thanks!

In Christ,
Pastor Kris
