Let’s build an APP!

You guys, we feel so at peace.

These past weeks have been a whirlwind of securing quotes for merchandise, wrapping up video edits, finalizing designs, and doing the math over and over and over again.

And now? We sense the Lord calling us to be still. The labor is over, the stage has been set, now we get the privilege of a front row seat to what happens next.

And we want you to sit here beside us.

We’ve talked before about callings. We’ve even talked specifically about our universal calling as believers and humans to every day “put forth Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the Savior of Man.”

That’s for all of us.

We believe our unique calling – mine and Amanda’s – is to accomplish this partly through the ministry of SheReadsTruth. We feel called to this website, and we feel called to develop a Bible + devotional app.

Of this we are sure.

As you can imagine, building an app costs a lot of money. By our estimate, a designer, a developer, and all of the expenses associated with launching a crowd-funding campaign with lovely incentives brings us to a fundraising goal of $35,000.

It’s a big number. And yet, it’s really not.
I believe that if the Lord wills it, we could fund the app in a day.
I also believe it’s entirely possible that we may not fund at all. That will be through the sovereign Lord as well.

In either case, we feel so peaceful today as we invite you to join us in this front row seat to God at work.
We’re calling on you to pray.
We’re asking you to give.

And for now – and for the next 30 days – our prayer comes from Matthew 6:10:

Your Kingdom come,
Your will be done.

Come see what we’ve been working on, loves! There’s a lovely video, a whole host of handpicked giving incentives, and the hope that come July 1, we will all have been a part of launching a SheReadsTruth App in the app store* for the furtherance of the Kingdom and for our own personal spiritual growth!

Grace and Peace,
Raechel & Amanda and the SRT Team

*To our beloved Android users – we haven’t forgotten about you! Be sure to check out our plan to include you, too,in the text of the campaign page!

**We fully anticipate that you may have questions. We’ve tried to answer most anything you’re wondering in previous posts. The quick answers are here:

  • the app will be FREE to download (see all the details of what the app will offer on the campaign page)
  • the SheReadsTruth.com website will remain free – even as new plans are developed and shared
  • new plans will be available for in-app purchase on the app (again – can’t swing the pay option? Join us on the site instead!)
  • some reading plans will also be available on the app for free!
  • charging for new plans on the app (without affecting the SheReadsTruth.com experience) will finally make this ministry sustainable! And not only sustainable, it will afford us the ability to finally do more of what we’re already doing – only better!
  • if you never pay for a single plan on the app, we don’t mind one bit! We still warmly invite you to use it as your go-to Bible app with lovely bookmarking and journaling features, as well as several of your most-loved Scripture translations.

    I almost feel like He saw this and thought, "challenge accepted." So excited to see all the amazing things that this community will continue to do!

    I'm so excited! I can't wait until it's available on the android system. God bless you SRT sisters that are giving to this wonderful project and who are also praying for this.

    This truly is fantastic, because most of the world is very tech savvy. I am not, yet. I am still trying to figure out how to get my Friday thoughts onto the #shereadstruth. I however, am not a quitter. I will figure it out.

    I'm so happy for you and your new addition.

    I just woke up (over here on the other side of the world) and I was confused at first when I looked at the kick start fund because it had $35,926 out of $35,000. Wow! We have an amazing and great big God.

    I wish I could stay up tonight to watch it hit $35,000. Raechel, Amanda, to all the SRT team – God is doing wonders through you – you are reaching women worldwide and connecting us lovingly to Truth. I've come to tears knowing the immense joy you all must be in right now – truly God answers prayers for those who seek Him whole-heartedly – He is a promise-keeper. I wish I could bless you as much as you've all blessed me – may our Father pour His blessings over you!

    p.s., I love the music on the video. Is this the artist I've seen Raechel tweet about lately? Getting ready to travel and need some new tunes!

    1. Raechel Myers says:

      Hey Lauren! Yes- it's Ellie Holcomb! The song is "Only Hope I've Got" from the album "As Sure As The Sun". Ellie was super kind to give us permission to use the video. She happens to be a close friend of Amanda's too :)

        On it! Downloading her album from iTunes as I type :) Every song is so pretty!
