... THAT DOOR has four "2x2" teams doing Deaf church planting in India. These "2x2" teams are getting ready to "reproduce" (move on to new cities and towns with a new Deaf partner after establishing and training Deaf leaders in the city they have been living and working in) ... resulting in eight "2x2" teams.
... THAT DOOR'S team now has ...
- 28 Deaf men & woman working on staff
- 24 Deaf translation team members
- 13 hearing staff
- Total DOOR team: 65 people around the world, NOT counting numerous spouses (Deaf & hearing) that support the work of their husband or wife.
... THAT DOOR is a "faith-based" mission organization. That means all funds need to be raised from churches, businesses, foundations, organizations and individuals. Can we do it alone? No, we need your help financially.
God HAS ALWAYS provided - we praise Him for that! Please join us in giving HIM all the glory for what HE is doing through DOOR around the world.
