Declaring God's Glory Among the Nations

 

Our vision for sharing God's wisdom with the world.

Stephen Davey
President / Bible Teacher

Imagine a world without wisdom.

People struggling in their marriages; battling loneliness; and feeling empty, alone, and lost . . . that’s the reality for most of the world’s population.

While many of us here in the United States have access to a church and biblical teaching, that’s not true internationally.

We’re working to change that.

Wisdom International develops biblically faithful disciple-making resources to help people in the United States and around the world know God, think biblically, and live wisely.

From life-long Christians to people in prison and in closed countries across the globe, Wisdom’s biblical resources have provided:

  • Deeper knowledge of God
  • Hope in the face of tragedy
  • Truth to stand firm in challenging times
  • Courage to change
  • And an ever-growing trust in Jesus

As my friend, Ahmed from California, shared:

"Your ministry came into my life when I felt hopeless. I listened to your podcasts, but did not tell my family or friends. I feared how others might react to my interest in Christianity. The teaching on John 14:6—‘I am the way, the truth, and the life’—helped me see that Jesus is the only path to God. I’ve since become a follower of Christ and found a small group of believers. Your ministry helped give me the courage to embrace the truth, even when it wasn’t easy."

 

I invite you to join us in this mission to declare God’s glory among the nations. This vision is sustained by the faithful prayers, support, and partnership of individuals like you.

Together, we can bring the truth of His Word to a world in need.

Let’s get started,

 

 

We Exist Because the Need is Great . . .

"We will declare His glory among the nations." Isaiah 66:19

Isaiah Image

God told the prophet Isaiah that He would send representatives who would declare His glory among the nations. That promise reflects what we do and why we do it.

As believers, we carry the incredible privilege and responsibility of sharing God’s message of salvation and grace.

By proclaiming His Word, we point people to the unchanging truth of Scripture, which alone can satisfy the deep hunger for purpose and peace.

God’s Word is a beacon of truth in a world filled with confusion.

Millions of people are captivated by the world’s philosophies. Even when they sense a spiritual need, they search for solutions in all the wrong places. They don’t know where to turn to find true answers to life’s most important questions.

Many people who follow Christ are also in need of solid biblical teaching. They’re not experiencing God’s fullness, growing in their faith, or living out the truth of God’s Word in their lives. It’s often because they’ve never been built up in their faith. They don’t have a steady diet of God’s Word.

In a world searching for meaning and grappling with confusion, the need to declare God’s Word has never been more urgent.

At Wisdom International, we believe that God’s Word is not just a source of moral guidance—it is the ultimate truth that transforms hearts, renews minds, and offers hope to a weary world.

 

Our mission is clear: To bring the light of God’s truth to a world hungry for hope and redemption.

What We Do . . .

Declaring God's glory among the nations

Since 2001, Wisdom International has been broadcasting the Bible-teaching ministry of pastor Stephen Davey.

Everything we do is guided by God’s vision for the world in Isaiah 66: “WE WILL DECLARE HIS GLORY AMONG THE NATIONS."

“We will declare”

We believe God’s Word is timeless and transformative, guiding every aspect of life and faith.

We declare God’s Word through audio, video, print, and digital materials that reflect the authority of Scripture, ensuring they align with biblical principles.

By prioritizing sound doctrine, we equip believers to deepen their understanding of God’s truth and share their faith with confidence. This reflects our belief that God’s Word is the foundation for lasting spiritual growth and the gospel’s global advancement.

“His glory”

At the heart of our ministry is a singular and ultimate purpose: to glorify God.

Every effort we undertake is rooted in making His name known and magnified among the nations. This mission drives everything we do, as we labor to proclaim the greatness of God, equip believers to grow in their faith, and see lives transformed for eternity.

What does it mean to glorify God in all that we do? It means proclaiming His greatness, exalting His character, and drawing attention to His infinite worth.

“Among the nations”

At the heart of our ministry lies the passion to see God’s Word proclaimed to the ends of the earth. Every language we reach, every resource we distribute, and every heart touched by His truth reflects our commitment to making His glory known among the nations.

Instead of spending our resources to purchasing radio time in the United States, we invest all that we can into new languages and new technologies to help reach more people in need.

This also includes reaching people in prison, deployed military members, and anyone seeking to know God better.

 

My access to solid biblical teaching is very limited. One day, while searching online for answers to my spiritual questions, I discovered your Mandarin podcast. The teachings are clear, faithful to Scripture, and deeply encouraging. They’ve helped me understand God’s Word in ways I never thought possible. I’ve grown stronger in my faith and now feel more confident in sharing the gospel with others around me. Your ministry has been a lifeline for my spiritual journey, and I thank God every day for bringing it into my life.

Our Approach . . .

Faithful to Scripture. Relevant to life.

Biblical faithfulness is central to everything we do. While some teachers expound on life and illustrate with Scripture, we expound on Scripture and illustrate with life.

This commitment ensures that everything we produce is:

Biblically faithful: We teach directly from God’s Word, dedicating ourselves to sound doctrine and theological integrity.

Easily accessible: We harness modern technologies to offer resources in multiple formats, such as podcasts, video teaching, and print.

Globally available: We continuously invest in translating our content into new languages and distributing our resources globally.

Personally relevant: We address real-life, practical questions and challenges, helping people navigate life with wisdom from above.

 

The ultimate fruit of this work is lives transformed by the power of the gospel, whether that means someone meeting Jesus for the first time or a believer growing in wisdom and understanding of Scripture.

The work we do isn’t just about providing resources—it’s about transforming hearts and pointing people to their Savior for eternity.


I’ve been listening to the daily podcasts and using the print resources for my small group Bible study, and it has completely transformed how I approach God’s Word. The lessons are clear, faithful to Scripture, and practical for everyday life. My faith has grown deeper, and I feel more confident in sharing the gospel with others.

Our Impact . . .

I’ve been viewing your videos on a tablet here in prison. You are a great instructor. I’ve gotten a better understanding of the book of Genesis and the books of Moses, and also of the New Testament from Jesus’s birth until His sacrifice on the cross for our sins. I’ve been a Christian with wavering faith throughout my life. Through your Bible study videos, my knowledge, faith, and hunger to know more and be closer to Jesus have increased substantially. I’m currently writing this from Hamilton County Jail. I want to thank you, and I hope more videos come soon.

We currently have people accessing our website from every country in the world!

Now, it is our dream and prayer to create content that speaks to their hearts directly, in their native language.

I’m so thankful for the clear and direct way that you teach God’s Word. The sermons that sting a little and make me jumpy are the most necessary. I get suspicious about pastors who think that all the sins in the world happen outside the church. Thank you for teaching God’s Word in a way that applies directly to my life and helps me see where I need to grow and change.

The Wisdom Journey has been a game-changer for my Bible study. I’ve always struggled to understand the Old Testament, but Stephen’s clear explanations have helped me connect the dots. I now see how God’s plan of redemption is woven throughout Scripture. It’s given me a deeper love for God’s Word and a greater desire to share it with others. Thank you for this incredible resource!
Sophia / Toronto, Canada
I wanted to sit down this morning and write to you as I listen to you on the radio each day. I’m so thankful for this daily time with my Lord and Savior. The last week has been very rough. I got some bad news about cancer spreading. I know it’s in the Lord’s hands and I’m open to whatever His will is. I’m so thankful that I know I have a Lord who wants me and created me in His image even though I’m going through so much, my heart is still thankful. Thank you for teaching me each day.
Derek / Inmate in Nashville, Tennessee
The series on the Beatitudes completely transformed how I view blessings. I used to think success and wealth defined my worth, but Stephen’s teaching showed me that true blessing comes from a heart aligned with God. I’ve started living with more gratitude and focusing on eternal values. Thank you for helping me see life through a biblical lens.
Jessica / Austin, Texas
I want to extend a sincere and heartfelt thank you to you and your staff for the ministry of Wisdom International. I listen to you online and on the car radio when I can. You have helped me grow as a believer, and I’ve learned so much. I was saved as a young girl and attend a small local church faithfully. I have served in this church all my life, but you are never too old to grow and learn and that’s exactly what your ministry has done for me.

Our Vision for the Future . . .

Reaching more people in more places.

From the beginning, our mission has been to glorify God by declaring His Word to a world in desperate need of truth.

We have taken a bold and God-dependent step of faith: to release our Bible teaching series, The Wisdom Journey, in at least two new languages each year.

This effort involves not only translating materials but also training local leaders, developing culturally relevant resources, and distributing resources globally to equip believers in their faith journeys.

By God’s grace, our dream is to see His Word transform lives across every continent, reaching people in their native languages with the message of truth and hope.

But we can’t do it alone. It takes the Body of Christ coming together to fulfill the Great Commission and share God’s Word with the world.

Be the reason someone encounters God through His Word today

As you’ve read about the work and vision of this ministry, will you consider what role God might have for you in this mission?

Together, we can reach the unreached, transform hearts, and ignite a passion for discipleship in every believer.

Pray:  

Pray for the nations, languages, and communities yet to be reached. Lift up those who labor in translation and distribution and ask God to prepare the hearts of those who will receive these resources.

 

Share:

Share Wisdom’s resources with someone who needs encouragement, wisdom, and hope today. Everything can be found online at www.wisdomonline.org.

 

Give: 

Your partnership brings the light of God’s truth to places it has never been before, transforming lives and bringing His glory to the farthest corners of the earth. Your gift will help translate biblical content into new languages, train local leaders, and distribute materials to those who desperately need to hear the gospel.

 

Together, we can declare God’s glory in every corner of the world.
Together, we can make a lasting difference — for eternity.

 

If you would like to invest in the creation of a new language for The Wisdom Journey, please CONTACT US and Scott Wylie will reach out to discuss partnership opportunities. Your involvement, no matter the form, is a crucial part of fulfilling the Great Commission. Every prayer lifted, every resource shared, and every dollar given helps bring God’s truth to people who are hungry for hope.
