# Event Details - **Event Name**: Wisdom International 25th Anniversary Gala - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 10 Oct, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Sat, 10 Oct, 2026 at 08:30 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Inspired by the past. Investing in the future.About this EventFrom Cassettes to ContinentsThe early days were quiet and ordinary. Two faithful volunteers recorded sermons on cassette tapes and typed transcripts by hand. That hidden work preserved Stephen's teaching and prepared the way for everything that followed.Then came an open door. The president of Trans World Radio invited Stephen to produce a daily radio program. After prayer, Stephen and Marsha said yes. In 2001, Wisdom for the Heart aired for the first time from a transmitter in Bath, England. One broadcast decision began a global journey.A few years later, the Bible Broadcasting Network began airing the program on hundreds of stations across North America. Stephen still recalls the day of the very first broadcast. When the program ended, he wanted to personally answer the first listener phone call. The phone rang on cue, but it was a wrong number. The humor did not last long. In the days and weeks ahead, thousands of listeners wrote in to express gratitude, and many began supporting the program financially.Behind the scenes, Marsha turned the bonus room of the Davey home into Wisdom’s headquarters. Surrounded by boxes, postage supplies, and duplicating machines, she filled every order by hand and tucked a thank-you card into each package. She also wrote the very first letter to an inmate who responded to the broadcast. Today, that Pr*son ministry reaches more than 100,000 inmates who listen daily, many writing back to share their testimony.What started in a bonus room had crossed an ocean. God was building something only He could build.A Voice in Every LanguageStephen's heart for the nations pressed the ministry outward. The Bible Broadcasting Network translated his teaching into Spanish for audiences across South America. Portuguese followed, then Mandarin. Through faithful partnerships, Wisdom expanded into Arabic, Swahili, Hindi, and Telugu.Today, by God's grace, Wisdom International serves audiences in thirteen languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin, Swahili, Arabic, Telugu, Hindi, Kirundi, Korean, Italian, French, and Russian. Listeners and readers access teaching through radio, podcasts, video, and written resources, all offered freely. As we track website visits, we see traffic from every country on earth.In January 2022, Wisdom launched a new daily program called The Wisdom Journey. This fifteen-minute teaching guides listeners through all sixty-six books of the Bible in three years. The program is offered in both audio and video, and its launch marked a season of growth so significant that Wisdom for the Heart was renamed Wisdom International to reflect the expanded global scope.Earlier this year, we launched our first daily television program. The Arabic edition of The Wisdom Journey now airs on satellite TV across the Arabic-speaking world. New language technology is opening doors faster than ever before.Teaching in thirteen languages. Daily access from every nation. Every resource offered freely.One Ministry, Many ToolsWisdom International shares a global teaching vision with Stephen Davey, The Shepherd's Church, and Shepherds Theological Seminary. Each ministry serves a distinct purpose. Together they carry one message: the unchanging truth of God's Word.Wisdom International operates as its own ministry, with an independent budget and Board of Directors. Support comes entirely from a listening family of partners across the country whose faithful giving funds the production, translation, and distribution of Bible teaching worldwide. This model keeps every resource free and accessible to listeners around the globe.Whether you are new to the Bible or have walked with the Lord for decades, you'll find a resource here to feed your faith.Daily radio and podcast teachingThe Wisdom Journey, a three-year walk through every book of the BibleWritten transcripts and study materialsVideo teaching for global accessBooks and print resources through our publishing arm, Charity House PublishingEach resource serves believers at every stage of spiritual growth.Lives Being ShapedGod uses steady Bible teaching in ordinary moments. A believer grows stronger through daily exposure to Scripture. A seeker finds clear answers without pressure. A pastor gains tools for faithful teaching. A prisoner reads a verse that changes everything.Stories arrive from every corner of the world. A listener in Cairo. A pastor in Nairobi. A college student in Seoul. A grandmother in São Paulo. Each message reflects God's faithfulness through consistent teaching across cultures and generations.The Next ChapterWe move forward with confidence and humility. The mission has not changed. New listeners are searching for truth. New languages are in progress. The same commitments guide every step ahead.Earlier this year, Wisdom International moved into our first global headquarters. For the first time in twenty-five years, we have a home of our own. The new building houses offices for our seven local staff members, a state-of-the-art recording studio, a gathering space, and a fulfillment center for our online store. Nine additional team members serve from across the country and around the world.Our focus stays simple. Teach Scripture clearly. Trust God fully. Serve the world faithfully.Looking ahead:Six new languages added in 2026, with more planned each yearExpanded digital access, making Bible teaching available wherever you areLong-term partnerships that strengthen global teaching for generations to comeThe work is far from finished. By God's grace, the best chapters are still being written.Be the Reason One More Person HearsEverything you've read is evidence of God's grace and mercy. He has blessed the vision He gave Stephen and Marsha Davey in ways neither of them could have imagined.This ministry exists through the prayers, generosity, and trust of partners like you. Every broadcast, every translated lesson, every resource that reaches a listener in another country happens because someone gave. Twenty-five years of global impact rest on faithful supporters who believed the gospel was worth carrying to the nations.Today, that opportunity is yours. Somewhere in the world, a listener is hearing the name of Christ for the first time. A pastor is finding clear teaching for Sunday sermons. An inmate is reading a verse that gives him hope. A family is gathered around a radio in a language they can finally understand.You can be the reason one more person discovers the truth of God's Word.Agenda🕑: 05:45 PMDoors Open/Registration Begins🕑: 06:30 PM - 06:30 PMGala Ballroom Doors OpenInfo: Enjoy the incredibly talented Amy Ims playing the harp.🕑: 07:00 PMPlated Dinner Served🕑: 07:30 PM - 08:30 PMSpecial guests: Erwin Lutzer, Stephen Davey, Scott Wiley, and Benjamin Davey.Info: Join us as our speakers celebrate 25 years of God’s faithfulness through Wisdom International and share an exciting vision for the decades to come. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/raleigh/wisdom-international-25th-anniversary-gala/100001989850905624 - **Event Categories**: art, nonprofit, charities - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: all_ages - door_time: 2026-10-10T21:45:00Z - Duration: 2 hours - Location: 3415 Wake Forest Rd - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 40, max: 400, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Raleigh - **state**: NC - **country**: United States - **location**: 3415 Wake Forest Rd - **lat**: 35.829856 - **long**: -78.62049789999999 - **full address**: 3415 Wake Forest Rd, 3415 Wake Forest Road, Raleigh, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Wisdom International 25th Anniversary Gala - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/226bba10483553c9098655ede1a3031bc65af079e39592bb40170615943d6738-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf7efdd-gmir.jpg?v=1779210571 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Wisdom International 25th Anniversary Gala being held? - **A:** Wisdom International 25th Anniversary Gala takes place on Sat, 10 Oct, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Sat, 10 Oct, 2026 at 08:30 pm at 3415 Wake Forest Rd, 3415 Wake Forest Road, Raleigh, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Wisdom International 25th Anniversary Gala? - **A:** Wisdom International 25th Anniversary Gala is organized by Wisdom International. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
