Celebrating 30 Years of God's Faithfulness
When Lill, Brent and I moved to
Korea from Japan in the December of 1978, we had no idea of what God was going to lead us into or what an adventure of faith He was going to take us on. 30 years later we look back in awe as we see His hand guiding,
protecting and building His Kingdom among the Deaf in spite of us and not
because of us.

Kenya
Probably one of the most famous tribes
in Africa is the Maasai. These people have
resisted a lot of change and still, for the most part,
remain cattle-men who move their cattle
constantly over vast areas of land.

The Anniston Star - News from USA
It is a world that most can not comprehend (understand) a world ruled by silence,
reduced to vibrations. Lost are the noises of
everyday life—from the roar of
passing traffic to the patter of raindrops. Instead, communication is defined by a flurry of hand gestures, words
replaced by images forged in the mind’s eye … for what the ears cannot hear the imagination must recreate.
