The Deaf community is one of the largest unreached people groups in the world, with 98% having no knowledge of Jesus Christ. In Texas alone, an estimated 345,000 Deaf individuals remain unreached. Because Deaf people often blend into the general population, they are frequently overlooked, even within churches, where language barriers prevent meaningful access to the Gospel. Interpreters, when present, may lack training on how to communicate Lutheran theology clearly. Deaf Outreach Texas will address this need through three-day American Sign Language (ASL) Jesus Signs workshops designed for Deaf participants who communicate in ASL and hearing persons who wish to communicate the Gospel to them. These workshops provide biblical instruction, worship, fellowship, and culturally appropriate teaching. This mission grant will cover faculty expenses, Bibles, printed materials, food, and technical support.

Lord of the Church, we thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ, for the salvation of all people. We ask You to bless Deaf Outreach Texas as it proclaims Your Word to those who have not yet heard the Gospel in their own language. Guide and strengthen the pastors, deaconesses, and volunteers who serve, and provide the resources needed for this work. Open hearts to receive Your truth, and grant faith through Your Word and Spirit. Use these workshops to build Your Church and bring many to the saving knowledge of Christ crucified and risen. In Jesus’ holy name. Amen.
