Deaf School

Today (Monday October 5th) Vicki and I visited the Deaf school run by NWHCM.  The deaf students meet in one of the classroom at the Mission school right across the street from the mission compound.  The classroom has two male teachers, both deaf.  One lives very close and the other has a distance to travel each day.  There were 12 students.  A few of them are new.  Four of the deaf kids are in wheelchairs and live at NWHCM.  Vicki along with one of the teachers worked with these four while I worked with the others (part of the time we divided them up and I took four students while the teacher took the others.  After a break I told a Bible story using the flannel graph set we brought for the school.  All seemed to enjoy the story.  We worked on signs for the colors, ABC’s, and animal signs.  We used the flannel graph animals to help learn these signs.  We also use the nuts, fruit and vegetable flannel graph.

Tomorrow we plan to go again.  School only meetings in the morning.  On Wednesday we hope to visit some of the homes of the students who live close.  We have talked with several who want to learn more and we pray that God will show us what we are to do to help in this ministry.  Well more later, if we can, from this beautiful part of the earth–sure different than IL!  We wake up to the mountains and palm trees.  God has been good.

We also helped with the Evangelism part–praying for patients, doing devotions with those in recovery.  This is an awesome group.  God bless, Debbie K.  IN HIS SIGN
