Pray for deaf people in Turkey and other areas in the world
Deaf Ministry in Turkey By Deaf Ministry team (2021.07) Dear Praying Family and Friends. We have two exciting updates for you about our Deaf Ministry. First, the English subtitles are now available for our Deaf sister Arzu's testimony video. You can click on the link, then go to settings (not the CC box) and choose English subtitles. If they are hard to read because the Turkish subtitles are embedded onto the video, then you can change the font color to yellow. Secondly, after six years of prayer, and years of back and forth communication, one of the leading sign language Bible translation and Deaf Church planting ministries is helping us with the deaf Bible translation! DOOR International will send a survey team to Turkey this October. They will come and visit several cities in Turkey, meet our Deaf believers, and learn more about Turkish sign language as a foundation for future work. You can learn more about them from their website. https://doorinternational.org/who-we-are We are so thankful that DOOR has put Turkey on their Top 3 Priority Countries to Reach list. We now realize that getting the Bible into Turkish sign language will be a very long-term project. The ASL sign language Bible took 38 years and they only just celebrated the completion in 2020. It is the ONLY complete sign language Bible for the Deaf in the world. We are so humbled to have the privilege to be included in the beginning of this important work. Praising God for answered prayer with you. |
