JESUS: a Deaf Missions film
Small group resources
Thank you for responding to God’s call to serve as a facilitator for a small group’s journey together through JESUS: a Deaf Missions film.
Understanding that every human is made in God’s image, we celebrate the Deaf being — the uniqueness, the way of thinking and feeling and processing, the journey and the pain.
Knowing the journey is not finished, we will introduce Jesus and offer an opportunity to get to know Him as Savior, Lord, and Friend.
