Sign Language Bible Studies



Our Thursday Afternoon Bible Studies continue to stretch us. Why? Sam does them via sign language. Natalie does most of the translation but Sam is picking up more and more signs all the time. I am picking them up at a much slower pace but it is slowly coming. This week we worked on a song that we hope to sign to the church and encourage our deaf folk to sign when we sing. We are singing in Spanish, The Glory of the Cross. Pray with us as we continue to minister to these special people that God has brought across our path. We never dreamed we'd be doing this type of ministry but we are learning it is a big need here in the City. There are so many deaf people around us that need befriending so that they too can hear the gospel. The Bible Studies helped the deaf folk understand more what typically goes over their heads on Sundays.
