Equiping for Discipleship

"While Deaf people remain an unreached, unengaged people group, the traditional “hearing” ministry/mission approaches will not be effective in bringing the Deaf to Christ."*
-Mark Lowenstein - Pioneer Bible Translators

"Deaf people represent one of the largest groups worldwide that is unreached and unengaged with the Gospel."
-Rob Myers - President of DOOR International.******

The statistics are staggering, and there is so much work to be done within the Deaf community in America.
Did you know:
- 50% of Deaf girls have been sexually abused as compared to 25% of hearing girls****
- 54% of Deaf boys have been sexually abused as compared to 10% of hearing boys.****
- 77% of deaf and hard-of-hearing respondents indicated experiencing some form of child maltreatment, compared with 49% among hearing respondents.*****
- 2% of culturally Deaf are ever exposed to the gospel**
- 1,722 Deaf individuals die each day without knowing Christ***

Our work focuses on changing these numbers within the Deaf population in America. Although it can sometimes seem overwhelming, we must do more than admit that it is daunting. We must point the brokenhearted to the One who is the Healer (Psalm 147:3). Please consider partnering with us financially through genuine prayer so we can complete the work He has assigned. Every dollar matters, no matter how large or small. We are seeking 12 individuals, churches, or organizations to partner with us at $500 each. 

Help us complete the work God has laid on our hearts to make a tangible, real difference in the lives and eternities of the Deaf in America. Discipleship and counsel through His Word is the only sustainable and effective cure and answer.
