First of all, we need your prayers.
Every effort must be expended to keep awareness and interest in our church so that we will not drift away from this outreach, but that it might be ever expanded and grow through congregations and service organizations participating in Deaf ministry.
Ideas are being formulated to provide printed Christian books and video materials as well as sign language and interpreter training. We're also working to keep abreast of new technologies and materials and distribute them throughout the synod.
We need to develop more partnerships between the Deaf in a community and the Hearing to establish congregations that serve both communities and spread the Gospel.
People are needed who know American Sign Language or are willing to learn so that the Deaf and Hearing communities can work together.
All of this takes funding. If you would like to support this ministry with your time, talent and treasures we need you. Please contact us. If you would like to make a tax deductable contribution to support this ministry, please send your check to the address listed in the contact information at the left. We thank you for your support and God bless you!
Exciting plans are being developed to reach out to the deaf and hard of hearing in our community through programs in two areas: a tutoring program whereby deaf children might receive the after-school help in the English language and other subjects so they won't fall behind in their schooling and give us with a way to provide spiritual outreach to them and their families; secondly, literacy programs for Deaf adults and their families who have been left behind in their ability to read and other skills.
Ephphatha Lutheran Mission Society is recognized by IRS as 501[c]3 non-profit organization with all donations tax deductible.
