Celebration Dinner (Brisbane)

29 July 2023

Book a table of 6 Book a table of 8

Join us in Brisbane for the second annual Celebration of Bible Translation dinner, celebrating the progression of Bible translation in Indonesia and South Asia.

(N.B. There area similar events in Gympie and in Bendigo, Victoria. Click the city name for details.)

In today’s world, there are still 1.5 billion individuals who speak 6664 different languages and do not have access to a complete Bible in their native tongue. While the task of translating the Scriptures is too immense for western missionaries to accomplish in their lifetime, God has been empowering Christian speakers of these languages to undertake this crucial work, and even to become translation consultants. If you’re interested in learning more about this progress, we encourage you to book a table for yourself and your friends at a two-course dinner. The evening will focus on the recent advancements in training and equipping local translators and consultants.

Tables can be reserved for either six or eight individuals.

Additionally, attendees will have the chance to hear firsthand illustrated reports from those who participated in Wycliffe Australia’s recent study tour to Israel, known as “K2K.”
