Are we official yet...??

Hi, I think we're official now? Because... Friends Following Jesus is not only a website, but an official app on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store! I've set up a download page to make it easy for you to get it: https://friendsfollowingjesus.com/install My favorite feature is the home screen widget. It shows me The Daily study each morning when I first look at my phone. I hope the app makes it easier for you to connect with God each day. As a bonus, now that the app is out, it's even easier to invite a friend to read with you. I hope you love using it. If you do, a five star review on the app store really helps get the word out. If not, it would help me to hear from you what I can do better. gratefully, |
