Welcome to Deaf 316 Ministries!
Did you know???
- Most deaf people have never seen the name of Jesus signed in their own language and are dying lost.
- Only 2% of the entire world’s 35 million deaf are reached by the gospel of Jesus Christ.
- Very few biblical resources exist in sign language, the native language of the deaf community.
- The deaf are some of the least evangelized people on earth.
Why should you care???
HELL IS REAL AND 98% OF THE DEAF ARE GOING THERE.
Yeah, I know what you are thinking…
“WHOA, Lindsey, that is a harsh statement.”
The reality of the situation is, anyone who dies without the saving knowledge of Christ in the form of a personal relationship with Him, will be eternally separated from God. This includes the deaf population.
After searching across the internet for deaf ministries that focused on making biblical resources accessible to the deaf, I became aware that very little was being done.
Individuals who use sign language as their primary language to communicate become lost in the hearing world. They are left confused about how to pursue a relationship with the One True God.
The goal of this ministry is to simply take all of the biblical resources that the hearing world takes for granted and make them accessible to the deaf.
Our mission is to provide the deaf community with the knowledge and love of Jesus through video devotionals, personal testimonies and biblical resources in their own language.
Every video will also have a written transcript allowing the hearing community to benefit as well. We also aim to connect the hearing community with the deaf by providing free resources to learn American Sign Language (ASL).
Deaf 316 provides every person the opportunity to connect and get involved with a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ, regardless of their fluency in ASL.
