The Discover Jesus App: Status 2023 Dec

Discover Jesus – Update

By Mike Robinson

DISCOVERJESUS.COM COMING SOON!

It is official! After launching our first version of the Discover Jesus website to the general public on November 15, we have acquired the discoverjesus.com address and will be launching it soon. In the interim, our site remains available at https://discoverjesus.app.

For now, the site is live and available for anyone on a tablet, laptop, desktop computer, or anything with a screen larger than 10 inches. In addition to migrating our content to discoverjesus.com, we are working behind the scenes to quickly get a mobile-friendly version of our site launched very soon.

CONTENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS

We launched the Discover Jesus website with 150 essays and close to 200 paintings and images. We now have over 200 essays completed and are about one-third of the way to our goal of 600 total articles when we are finished with Part IV. We continue to receive and add content from our dedicated and prolific volunteer writers.

As a reminder, each essay represents an original exposition of a Person, Group, Relationship, Event, Location, Object, or Topic from Part IV of The Urantia Book.

MEDIA CURATION

Gary Tonge continues to paint for the app and is using the Midjourney AI program to produce an initial draft and then he completes the work himself. His talent is indispensable to the Discover Jesus platform and his skill at creating new art is what fuels the beauty of our site.

We sincerely appreciate Gary's exceptional ability to incorporate these images into the story and his willingness to go above and beyond in order to bring the text to life for each and every one of our website visitors.

WE NEED YOUR HELP

This project continues to be an enormous undertaking, and a group of enthusiastic Urantia Book students is devoted to its completion. Lisa T. and Fraser are working collaboratively on a mobile-friendly version of the site that is coming soon. Lisa C. is helping with the marketing and fundraising. And we have so many writers and others to thank for their incredible investment of time.

Please consider helping us with a donation. A generous donor has challenged all of us with a matching fund of $100,000 for new donations made through the end of 2023. That's just ten days from now!

Thank you for being part of this journey and for your continued support in the year ahead!
