Summer break
has come for our International Bible Training Center (IBTC) students, who have
completed their first of three years of ministry training at Deaf
Missions. For the typical college
student, summer break might mean going to a beach and getting a tan, jumping
off waterfalls, or relaxing by watching television and sipping on ice-cold
lemonade. However, our students
are not taking a break, they are participating in various ministry opportunities!
Two of our
students, Dallas and Javier, along with one of our IBTC instructors, Alex
Abenchuchan, and his wife, Alexa, are part of a mission team flying to Africa
today. They will minister at deaf
orphanages and run camps for deaf people in Kenya and Uganda for the next
couple months.
Another two
IBTC students, David and Joseph, are departing today and heading to southern
California, where they will be working with churches and ministries to reach
deaf people who are in prison, entrapped in substance abuse or are involved in
gangs.
Furthermore,
Jason and Mistie, a married couple in our training program, will hit the road
soon to Austin, Texas, where they will work with a Deaf preacher there to
minister and reach people in one of the largest Deaf communities in the United
States.
Can you
imagine the impact that Deaf Missions can make upon deaf people who do not know
Jesus here and abroad? Even though
the IBTC is only a year old, it is already making a difference for God’s
kingdom.
Thank you
for your prayers and financial support.
God bless you!
