at

Noto’s Old World Italian Dining

We invite you to join us on October 8th for our annual Harvest Dinner. During this year’s event, we will celebrate the work of God through Bibles International since its beginning in 1981. For the past 45 years, God has faithfully guided the translation of His Word around the world, bringing truth to unreached people in their mother tongue, providing a trustworthy foundation for life’s trials, and transforming many precious lives for His glory.

During the evening, you will enjoy a delicious meal, special music, and global ministry presentation—all in the charming, Old World ambiance of Noto’s Old World Italian Dining in Grand Rapids.

A financial appeal at the end of the program will give you the opportunity to support the ongoing work of Bibles International for the next 45 years and more! More details and registration information will be provided soon.

If you would like to give before the 2026 Harvest Dinner,

  • Harvest Dinner Sponsorships help cover the costs of the program and dinner.
  • Harvest Dinner Donations go directly to funding the annual project.

2025 Harvest Dinner Highlights

The 2025 Harvest Dinner was held on October 9, 2025. The theme was Rescuing the Riza: Set Free from Animism to Serve the Almighty. The Riza* people of south Asia number around 450,000 and predominantly practice animism. Although early missionary efforts were met with resistance and persecution of the converts, there are today more than 2,000 professing Christians in as many as 52 worshipping groups who continue to practice their faith. Over $152,000 was raised so that the Old Testament translation can begin immediately after the New Testament is completed.
