|PIC1|Scripture Union is celebrating the success of its online Bible reading guide after amassing more than 10,000 registered users in its first year alone.

WordLive was launched on New Year’s Day in 2007 to help Christians experience God’s living Word more fully in their daily lives.

The free interactive service includes audio Bible passages, video clips, worship songs and prayer activities, as well as daily Bible readings and reflections all designed to aid users in their daily devotions.

Scripture Union has received a lot of positive feedback about the service, with one user saying it “helped me approach my devotional times in a new way”.

Keith Civval, Scripture Union’s Chief Executive, said he was pleased so many people had found WordLive useful in their devotional lives.

“WordLive opens up a whole new world of opportunities to meet God through the pages of Scripture with fresh and stimulating content every day,” he said.

“We are delighted that so many people have taken advantage of those opportunities during WordLive’s first year and I expect that this number will grow dramatically in 2009 as more and more people discover the scope for WordLive to enrich their relationship with God.”
