October Focus: deaf affinity
This month our emphasis is the Deaf Affinity. There are no boundaries or specific countries for this affinity. Deaf people exist all over the world and in every culture. Praise the Lord that there are workers being sent out. There are two units within the latest sent-out ones going to the Deaf peoples. Learning the deaf language of where they are going will still be a priority. Just like oral languages, deaf sign language is different in different countries.
During the Deaflympics that was held in Japan last November, global workers and Deaf believers from several countries traveled together with one purpose: to engage Deaf athletes and spectators with the gospel. Throughout the event, God’s hand was evident as He opened doors for meaningful conversations again and again. One memorable moment came when a small group of global workers and Deaf partners left the venue to find lunch between competitions. They stepped into a nearby restaurant with open seating, only to realize that the Japanese Deaflympics track team was seated right beside them. In the close quarters typical of Japanese restaurants, the proximity naturally sparked connection. What began as a simple meal break quickly became an unexpected opportunity to share the Good News with members of the host nation’s team. This encounter was just one of many “divine appointments” that God orchestrated during the Deaflympics. Time after time, He placed volunteers, workers, and Deaf partners exactly where they needed to be. Praise God for His perfect timing and for the many ways He worked through His people to make His name known among Deaf athletes and spectators from around the world!
