“To give some perspective to that astronomical statistic, one million seconds equal 11.5 days, one billion seconds equal 31.75 years, and one trillion seconds equal 31,709.8 years,” said Rachel Barach, general manager of Bible Gateway.
“Our mission statement is ‘To honor Christ by equipping people to read and understand the Bible wherever they are.’ What an honor and privilege to be able to serve so many people around the world during the last quarter-century, doing just that.”
Bible Gateway began in 1993 as a Bible research tool for students at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Today, it is the world’s most visited Christian website, with 200-plus Bible versions in more than 70 languages.
