About This App
The Holy Spirit Portal Church Bible is a free multilingual Bible app created for the church family and the wider Christian community.
It was designed and developed by Sumit Mathew, founder of Holy Spirit Portal Church. Sumit is an engineer by background and believes in a spirit of excellence — that the church should grow, build, create, and carry dominion across every platform, including technology.
This app is a step of faith to make God’s Word more accessible for English, Malayalam, and Swahili-speaking believers. You can read the Bible in one language or side by side, highlight and bookmark verses, save notes, share Scripture as text or beautiful images, and install the app on your phone for offline reading.
This project is also a reminder that believers can lead by example. With God’s grace, vision, and dedication, we can use our skills to build things that bless people and advance the Kingdom of God.
