DOOR International’s mission is to bring God’s Word and reproducing Christian fellowships to the Deaf of the world. Our calling is two-fold: translation and training.

• We help Deaf communities translate the Bible (and other resources) into their sign languages.
• We train and equip Deaf leaders in evangelism, discipleship, and church planting to reach their communities for Christ.

Our vision is “Deaf reaching Deaf for Jesus Christ,” empowering the Deaf to reach their own peoples.

Deaf Harbor . org

Deaf Harbor is an association of Deaf churches and ministries who want to work together to accomplish shared goals. Deaf Harbor looks for needs that no individual church can meet alone and find ways that Deaf Harbor and its members can meet those needs together.

Vision

We motivate the Deaf community to experience new life with Jesus by providing a safe, honest, and open environment where Deaf churches and Deaf ministries from denominational and non-denominational backgrounds can work together in our common goal to bring Jesus to our community.

Mission

To motivate the Deaf community to experience new life with Jesus through clear ASL Biblical resources, transformational special events, meaningful Bible study opportunities, and a network of healthy Deaf churches and ministries.

Deaf Bible Society . com

Motivated by the Great Commission, we seek to reveal the hope of the Gospel in Jesus Christ, so that every Deaf person has the opportunity to receive, experience, and share it.

We focus on Deaf awareness, education, access, and funding to advance sign language Bible translations and to engage Deaf people groups with the gospel.

Engaging Advocates for Deaf Bible Translation & Access

Around the globe, 98% of Deaf people have never been introduced to the gospel. Deaf Christians are working hard to advance Bible translation and access in their communities, and also to establish and grow church ministries.

Providing the Bible in Sign Language Videos

Thanks to widespread video and Internet access, we can provide sign language Bible resources like never before. To fulfill our mission, vision and pillars, Deaf Bible Society follows a careful process in six phases:

1. Identifying the Mission Potential
2. Developing the Project Framework
3. Funding the Bible Translation
4. Leveraging Teamwork and Technology
5. Providing the Deaf Bible – Free
6. Connecting the Deaf Community with the Gospel

We ensure that the truth of God’s Word is clearly communicated in sign language videos with the Deaf community and culture in mind.

Deaf Bible Society funds and distributes Bible content in 17 sign languages and counting. Today, no complete Bible exists in any sign language, but together with our friends and translation partners, we are working toward a world with God’s Word in Every Sign Language.

Deaf Missions . com

 

If you put all the Deaf people in the world in one country, it would be the third most populated country in the world.  Deaf Missions exists because only 2% of these Deaf people around the globe have been introduced to Jesus. That means 98% of Deaf people have yet to experience salvation in Him.

It is our vision to see the lives of Deaf people transformed and impacted through God’s Word in their native and heart language – sign language.

That vision drives the three ministry priorities of Deaf Missions:

• We TRANSLATE – our top priority is translating all of God’s Word into American Sign Language (ASL) by the year 2020. This will give Deaf people their first ever complete Bible in a sign language!
• We TRAIN – the Deaf Missions Training Center (DMTC) trains and equips men and women to be more effective church planters, leaders, preachers, Bible translators and missionaries.
• We REACH – our staff and students utilize the ASL Bible, Daily Devotions for the Deaf, and other resources as they go out and reach Deaf people with the Gospel message.

Through these three priorities, Deaf Missions is IMPACTING the lives of Deaf men, women and children around the world!
