THROUGHT NEW HANDS (Quote from a Deaf man in Kenya)
George (Deaf) signed,
"You know, we started noticing a tremendous difference with the way our pastor was preaching, The stories were clearer, and seemed to flow systematically. There were VERY strong points "lessons" at the end of his every preaching. He seemed well prepared for the worship.
At first I thought it was only me who had noticed this sudden change. Soon everyone was talking about the change in the pastor. ‘How comes, we wondered!!!????' Our pastor had not traveled out of the country to receive any more training?
It was much later that we discovered that our pastor had received a copy of KSL (Kenya Sign Language) DVD Bible. He had kept it under lock and key. In the evening or at his free time, he would watch the stories, the lesson plans, etc. ALONE! Come Sunday he would preach and teach stories.
Sunday services were never the same again. They have become more moving, interesting and touching."
THROUGH THE NEW CENTER
Not only will this translation work by Deaf for Deaf continue, but it will increase with the completion of the new Deaf Bible Translation & Training Center (a first in history)!
DOOR needs to vacate their present facilities in Kenya between October 1-15 of this year. Not all the buildings will be totally completed at that point, but DOOR is praying that the necessary buildings needed to continue translation will be ready to be moved in as planned.
- PRAY that the move will not disrupt the tight translation schedule, and the translation work will continue as scheduled and planned.
- PRAY that the construction will continue as planned, on schedule, till the move-in date.
- PRAY that funds will continue to come in so that the entire facility can be completed, and there will be room in the future for 8-10 sign language translations to be worked on yearly at this center.
- PRAY that the upcoming vote in Kenya on August 4 for acceptance of a new constitution will be calm with no violence erupting.
