Residency: Gem Finders - EV and Discipleship Among the Deaf

Description

Find the gems, share the gospel, and disciple the believers! The global Deaf community lacks access to the gospel! You can change that! Of the almost 80 million Deaf globally, few have seen the gospel in their language and most lack access to Scripture in their heart language. Drink coffee, play badminton, sip on tea, eat rice, ride a monorail, say ‘yes’ to invitations to join the Deaf in their daily lives. Bring your skills, passions, and hobbies and use them to do life with the Deaf of Southeast Asia.

Whether you are Deaf or hearing, fluent in sign language or know none at all, you can join us for a semester and be a part of God’s amazing work in bringing the gospel to the Deaf throughout Southeast Asia. If you have a heart to reach the lost, come join our team in bringing hope to the hopeless.
