An Exciting
Summer of Reaching Out
to Thousands of Deaf People!
 July 18 to
23, Deaf Missions was introduced to deaf people as we conducted outreach and shared
resources from our booth at the DeafNation World Expo and Conference in Las
Vegas. The organizers of this
event said this was the largest gathering of deaf people ever, with at least
15,000, maybe as many as 20,000, people from around the world gathered
there!
Then, during
the last week of July, we hosted our annual Bible Camp for the Deaf at Camp
Nebowa in Onawa, Iowa.
Throughout
these tremendous outreach opportunities, the Gospel of Jesus Christ was
shared. And praise God, deaf
people responded as they repented of their sins, believed in Jesus as their
Lord and personal Savior, made commitments to follow Him and be baptized in
Him. Now, they are being
encouraged as they mature in Christ through their local church/ministry and our
valuable life-changing resources.
Thank you
for your prayers and financial support! You have made and continue to make an eternal impact on the lives of
deaf people. God bless you.

Sit at the Lord's Feet
by
Chad Entinger
 I
personally find this story in Luke 10:38-42 (NIV) quite fascinating:
"As
Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman
named Martha opened her home to him.
She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to
what he said. But Martha was
distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and
asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by
myself? Tell her to help me!"
