A Harvest of Praise

This past weekend, all three deaf churches on the island got together for a special service. Deaf Bible Church in St. Elizabeth hosted the gathering, while New Life Church in Manchester and Calabar Deaf Fellowship in Kingston closed their doors to travel to St. Elizabeth. We loaded up a bus and 2 vans and trekked to St. Elizabeth. The service was good as different people did special songs and testimonies. It was exciting to see hundreds of deaf gathered together for encouragement and fellowship. One of the major assets of the community is that they are very interconnected. It is our prayer that the gospel takes root and utilizes that interconnectedness to permeate the deaf community. The day also provided a reminder of the hundreds of deaf adults not represented who have no access to christian fellowship as this gathering essentially represented the entirety of the adult deaf outreach in Jamaica. The day was blessed and we gave thanks.
