We hope and pray this initiative will continue to encourage people to read the entire Bible together, outloud, in a period of time (80 days) that encourages a better understanding of how it all fits together for His glory and His purposes. Our hope and prayer is that we can help others to start their very own Around the Word in 80 Days bible reading, inviting their friends and family to join in daily with a commitment of 80 days. Your days will be ordered around it and YOU WILL get through and be forever changed. All you need is a Bible and a desire to have others join you in reading the Word of God outloud. We provide you with instructions to use a sign-up tool, daily email reminders, and an actual video reading of one night of readings.

HealingStrong has done so much good for so many people throughout the U.S. and the world. Now influencing so many to read the Bible together with people from all walks of life is another act of love!

Bill

This is truly amazing! Thank you so much for your obedience to the Lord's calling. So many blessings have come from these last 80 days. He has been glorified and His Word has been spoken!

Lynne

Thank you for making this event possible. It was an answer to a prayer! I wanted to know God more and by reading and listening to His word, I do! What an AWESOME God we love and serve!

Leesa

I have experienced forgiveness in my heart for people in my past who have hurt me deeply. Reading God's Word outloud is something I will continue to do on my own now because of the power of healing I have seen in my own heart.

Diane

Reading through the Bible this way, outloud, with newfound friends everyday has changed my life.

Lisa

This reading opportunity has brought me so much peace during a time of great uncertainty. I came to love my adoptive father in a way I have never experienced before. The insecurities and unforgiveness I had carried for decades fell away.

Suzy

I have read the Bible before, but this was so awesome to hear it outloud. It was wonderful to hear the different languages, versions, and I feel like I made a strong connection with so many. Reading outloud with my daughter was so powerful.

Gayle

I told a spiritual mentor of mine, I wish someone would have put a Bible in my hand a long time ago. This has changed my life.

Carol

Thanks for inviting me to be a Bible reader. Your invitation brought me back to high school where I had been hurt deeply by a teacher who made fun of my reading. I had not thought of this in years but God was speaking through your invitation to read His Word out loud, that it was time to give this memory to Him, not to accept the rejection anymore but to forgive and let go. I believe that He who began a good work in me will carry it out to completion. This has helped me so much.

Sandy

What this did for me because 2020 has been a real interesting year is give me a sense of peace. I don't get upset over alot of things. There is a calmness that I have now. The Word just calms us down.

Mary Ann

The days I got to read, God had a Word for me every time I did it. It's almost like when I would sign on, I would wonder what He is going to say to me today? Such an awesome feeling knowing that the God of the universe has a special Word for each of us.

Cheryl

This is God's Work. I had just been encouraged to read the Bible outloud. My friend, Sue, and I started the first night and I can't even explain the transformation for me personally. I have wanted to do this my entire life. I feel like a completely changed person because of this. There are no coincidences in this life and I now feel like I am a part of the most amazing group of people.

B.J.

I would have not in a million years. The prompting by another to take advantage of reading the Bible outloud just before this invitation by HealingStrong made clear it was the time. It has been an incredible experience. The final night of reading included an incredible song in scriptures "And I Saw a New Heaven" and as a singer, it was so beautiful to read the Words out of scripture the song I have sung before. AND..during this time, I was able to make 6 prayer shawls for newly diagnosed breast cancer patients in Myrtle Beach.

Sue

This has been such a blessing for me. It has been an interesting couple of years and have felt a lack of community in my life. This reading has helped me find a connection during a time I needed it with people I have never met before in person. It has just been a real big blessing in my life. Thank you.

Krista

I'm going to miss my time with the Lord together. It's been a long 80 days, but very short. I am on a cancer journey and having the scripture read everyday has been a blessing.

Toni

This has been so filling for me because I became a born again Christian last December. Soon after, we got locked down and I haven't been able to connect with people. When this started in summer, it was so nice for me and just what I needed. I've cried alot after because I'm not sure what I am going to do next. It's taught me to read the word aloud. I am inspired to contact my own friends and see if they would like to read outloud together.
