Excited to head to missions camp with some CODAs and mission team kids. Our team is feeling God move us into more missions oriented service for Him. The Deaf are an unreached group with the gospel….2% worldwide. This year Deaf will be going on international mission trips and doing some local missions as well. The Word tells us to GO! And make disciples. So thankful this missions camp will instill that into the children as well. Next year we have some more going with us…they were a tad young this year.

We would appreciate your prayers. We are also welcoming donations for Deaf to go on the mission trips. You can go to OpenHandsDeafServices.com

Prayers needed for:
Kids to see the need for mission work, discipleship and love for people.
Kids to fall in love with Jesus and His word.
Safe travels and no injuries while there (pray for me on the injuries…. Had a bad fall Friday and I’m nursing a bad tail bone injury.)
Good weather so they can also enjoy the outside activities.

Special thanks to Broadmoor Baptist Church, CumberlandFarms, Men of Courage, Women of Courage, Cross Point Baptist Bossier, and Open Hands Deaf Services for investing in local missions and supporting the vision. May God continue to increase your influence in people’s lives and growing His Kingdom. So thankful when the BODY OF CHRIST works together.

Congratulations to Janet Hope, our quilt raffle winner! Thank you to all who participated!

If you missed a chance to help the families make it to Deaf Days at the Ark Encounter we are one week away from rolling out. You can still sponsor an individual or a family or support the logistical costs of helping the Bible come to life. Click the link in the comments. We are just $1000 short of our goal.

- 70+ million Deaf Worldwide
- Only 2% of Deaf worldwide are exposed to the gospel
- 300+ different sign languages
- Only 1 sign language has a full OT and full NT (and it is just a few years old)

CAPTIONING
Hey everybody… Happy Giving Tuesday! We want to take a minute to say THANK YOU to those of you that are supporting this organization. Whether you are supporting us financially or supporting us with prayer, we absolutely could not do it without you. So, thank you! I want you to know that because of you we are able to continue to serve Deaf and their families with the love of Christ. We believe there should be no distinction between who you are in Christ and what you do and sometimes we have to take care of people’s physical needs in order to open the door for spiritual healing. Over the last year we have seen an increase throughout the community of needs and you can partner with us and make an impact in a real and tangible way by donating to this 501(C)(3) organization. Even better than that, you can partner with us on an ongoing basis through the same link we have in the bottom. Again, we hope that you will prayerfully consider supporting our organization as we continue to show the love of Christ. And we hope you will share in the blessing that God has done through Open Hands Deaf Services.
