THE TESTIMONY OF A DEAF
I became a christian few months after
my brother. His life had really been changed. When he was telling me about
Jesus, I thought it was good... for him, then when I attended his water
baptism, I was touched by the joy of the people who were baptized.
My brother thought right away that it
would be good if I could meet other christian deafs. I could meet a deaf
group and we had prayer meetings and bible studies in sign-language. The
person in charge was hearing and knew sign-language fairly well.
Sometimes, we attended Sunday services
in a hearing church or went to gatherings. We also had week-end or
vacation camps. One day, during one of these camps, a deaf pastor came to
visit us. It was extraordinary! His messages touched me deeply. He knew how
communicate the Gospel to the deaf because he was one himself.
My brother has visited deaf churches
abroad and he told me how they worked.
I pray that soon we too will have a
church in our language : french sign-language.
