Ministry Description

Since 1970, Deaf Missions has reached Deaf people in more than 100 countries around the world through a variety of Bible-based resources. In 2020, Deaf Missions completed the first-ever full Bible in a sign language: The American Sign Language Version. It was primarily translated by Deaf people, for Deaf people, and featured 53 different translators. An overflow of this work is serving as a resource and support for the larger sign language Bible media and translation movement globally.

Furthermore, Deaf Missions has produced and is engaging Deaf people with “The Book of Job,” a full-feature film in sign language. Among their next steps is producing another “For Deaf By Deaf” feature film – one on the life and Gospel of Jesus – to be presented in different sign languages worldwide.
