International Deaf Week is Sept 22-28, 2024. Most countries have gatherings to promote Deaf rights, businesses, and sign language resources. Pray that many lost Deaf will connect with Deaf believers and be drawn to the Lord.
The 70 million Deaf people around the world use over 200 sign languages. They are some of the least evangelized people on earth, and prayer is essential to the task of reaching them. Please pray for all Deaf to have an opportunity to understand and respond to the gospel.
A Deaf church in a Southeast Asian country has been working with the Deaf in “Light Town.” Praise the Lord that as His Stories have been shared, the number of new believers has increased! Pray that He will continue adding to their number daily.
Pray for a West African Deaf Bible translation team as they continue working towards their goal of rendering approximately 120 Bible stories into one of West Africa's natural sign languages by the end of 2024. Pray that His Stories will reach many Deaf for His glory.
