TESTIMONIES
The national school for the deaf invited us to take them a program we do in the secular schools of the country, called biblical school week, where we deliver biblical portions for new readers, but not with a language sign translation, because we do not have it yet. . We believe that the challenge of encountering a man when reading the bus sign of the Bible society "faith comes by hearing", and asking what with the deaf ?, has motivated us in a great way to meet this great need.
