Arriving back in El Salvador, it´s been just as busy. As I mentioned to you before, we finally finished the first translation of the Sign Language Book into Spanish and Salvadorian Signs. It´s been a long time (over a year) coming, but I just began training the Deaf Teachers how to use the book. I´m not sure who´s more excited about it, them or me.
Another wonderful blessing to tell you about is the salvation of another deaf soul. Rosa (left) pictured with her sister Dina (hearing have just recently begun attending the Sunday school class.
Betania is another deaf, who accepted Christ last year, but she´s now bringing her parents to church and Sunday school with her. Her parents are Catholic; however, they are now attending our church. God is working among the families here.
The most exciting thing of all is that we finally began our meetings for the "DVD Project". Putting the Bible onto DVD in Salvadorian Sign Language for all Deaf to be able to learn about Jesus has been a dream of mine for as long as I´ve been here in El Salvador, (5 years). There were 3 different churches represented, 4 Hearing and 20 Deaf were in attendance. We will be meeting twice a month each month. We will first be investigating the different religious signs that are used in El Salvador. Unfortunately, there might be 3 different signs for one word. We are hoping that we will be able to unite and agree on one sign. We will make a "religious dictionary" so that these signs can be taught in the different schoos, churches, etc. where there are Deaf.
