Sign Languages
Scripture Has Been
Locked Away for Millions
For centuries, the Deaf have been isolated from Scripture. Written languages are second languages for the Deaf—the Bible is often unintelligible without sign language.
A Visual Language Barrier
Sign languages are complete, natural languages with their own grammar and syntax. Reading text is like reading a foreign language for many Deaf individuals.
No Heart Language Access
Without a Bible in their heart language, millions remain unreached—unable to fully grasp the depth of God's love in a way that speaks to their soul.
Think of your favorite passage or book of Scripture and count the verses that make it up.
