About This Project
The 2025 Deaflympics in Tokyo, Japan, will host 6,000 Deaf athletes, staff, officials, and referees from 70 to 80 countries and regions. Thousands more Deaf spectators will join them to cheer and witness their loved ones compete. Many of these athletes and spectators lack access to the gospel in their home countries, yet they are coming to a place where you can introduce them to the good news of Jesus Christ. Your gift will provide evangelism resources and cover other on-the-ground costs to effectively share the message with the thousands of Deaf people who are lost. Your support is vital! International Mission Board missionaries are prepared to engage the thousands arriving in the city for the Deaflympics. Your generosity will ensure IMB workers are present for the entire event, sharing the gospel with as many Deaf people as possible. Our ultimate goal is for Deaf individuals to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior and grow as disciples. Join your IMB missionaries in partnering with Japanese Deaf churches to help new believers connect and grow with local congregations. In addition to on-the-ground evangelism, your gifts will implement an online gospel-sharing strategy to reach thousands more people watching the events from their homes. You can take the gospel into their kitchens and living rooms by sponsoring online gospel ads. Through giving, God will use you as an instrument of grace to transform the lives of Deaf peoples. Join the mission and give today!
Why direct giving matters
Giving directly to a missionary team helps fund the specific, on-the-ground needs your missionaries care deeply about—needs that aren't covered by CP and LMCO alone.
In the next five years, a globalization goal of all IMB workers is to mobilize 500 local believers to become global missionary partners serving on IMB teams.
100% of your gift directly supports missionaries and their ministries overseas.
