Discipleship with our ASL BIBLE app
Reaching Deaf people with the good news of Jesus can begin with one simple step: invite a few Deaf friends, family members, or neighbors to watch JESUS: a Deaf Missions film together. Deaf Missions will guide you from there with a simple model for engaging Scripture and taking meaningful next steps in faith.
-
Host a movie night and watch JESUS: a Deaf Missions film together. Invite friends, family members, church members, or people from your local Deaf community.
The film provides powerful visual context for the life and ministry of Jesus and creates a natural opportunity for conversation.
-
After the film, continue meeting regularly to watch the Gospels and the book of Acts in the ASL Bible app.
Move at a pace that works for your group. Some groups may watch one chapter each gathering. Others may choose to watch several chapters at a time.
-
After each chapter or section, ask three simple questions:
What was the story about?
How did God speak to you?
What are you going to do about it?
You will not be teaching—God’s Word does the heavy lifting. Your role is simply to create space for people to engage with God's Word and share what they are learning.
-
As people encounter Jesus through Scripture, many will naturally want to continue growing.
That next step may be following Jesus, reading more of the Bible, joining a local church, connecting with a Christian community, or inviting others to begin the same journey.
As people take steps toward Jesus, encourage them to continue growing in God’s Word and in Christian community.
-
Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Acts contain 117 chapters in total. If your group watches two chapters each week, you can complete the journey in just over a year.
Celebrate milestones along the way. Finishing a book of the Bible is worth celebrating!
If you decide to start a group, we would love to know about it. Share your progress with us and send a photo each time your group completes a book. Your story may encourage others to begin their own disciple-making journey.
