Field Report

At least 3 times annually, camps for deaf young people and couples provide valuable fellowship, fun and Bible study. Many times there are 100 or more deaf that come. In addition, one day retreats in various cities provide valuable times of sharing and fellowship.

Through Deaf Bible Fellowships

Our Bible fellowships meet every Sunday. They are designed to be a time of Bible study, fellowship and fun. They develop drama skills in teaching Bible stories. It is a time to come and ask questions and gain a well grounded understanding of the Scriptures. Also, it is a time to build strong friendships to help withstand the persecution and harrassment Christians receive in India. Through these friendships they give each other much needed support and encouragement.

Through Deaf Bible Fellowships

We have a Deaf Hostel for young girls ages 4 to 12 years. This is a state registered school fulfilling their primary education requirements. There is a special focus on deaf educational needs and a strong emphasis on the Bible.
