Deaf Church

This past Sunday we started a Deaf Church. In Haiti Deaf people are not seen…they are not accepted & are not accepted into church. We have an amazing deaf community & were so excited to give them the opportunity to join together in corporate worship. Courtney spent 2 weeks at Deaf Missions in Omaha Nebraska & had the wonderful opportunity of collecting resources for this new ministry. It was a huge success last Sunday with 9 Deaf community members present & 4 Miriam Home Children. We watched 4 sermons & had a time of prayer. The thing that I loved watching the most was how hungry they were for the gospel. I am so excited to see this church grow. Please pray for this new ministry.

Today was week 2 of Deaf Church. Only the deaf teacher showed up this morning because a church in La Pointe was having a special speaker that was going to sign so they all went down there. We still had a great church with 8 of the Miriam Home children attending & watching a children’s deaf sermon after we watched the Adult one. The kids were so engaged & focused. I am so excited that we have videos to share with the children as well  Please keep this new ministry in your prayers.
