Impact Prayer Needs

“When I was working as a young teacher in the deaf school in Rathmalana, it was a very difficult task to preach the word of God to the deaf people in sign language... I think this project will be of great benefit to the deaf, because (other) people who are normal have the Holy Bible in their own language in Sinhala, English and Tamil. But the deaf people’s reading ability is at a very low level. Therefore, it is very useful for them to learn and understand the word of God in their own sign language.”

• Please pray for the people who are signing this resource, that they would be able to learn the correct signs.

• Pray for wisdom in translating the Bible text into signs, and for the team to come to a common decision for certain sign words of the Bible.

• Pray for good collaboration among the team and continued funding for the project into the future.
