The 2011 Show & Tell Mission Tour may be coming to a city near you! On July 25th through August 1, six hearing and Deaf individuals will giving their testimonies and sharing their experiences, from growing up Deaf in today's society to the challenges of sharing God's GOOD NEWS to the Deaf, young and old alike.

They will be traveling across the southeastern United States, from Orlando, Florida to Dallas, Texas. This will include a stop at the First Baptist Deaf Church of Baton Rouge, where Jon and Earline ministered last year on the Mission Possible Tour. [See Day 84 through 86 from their blog.]

Their itinerary will include the award-winning S.H.O.W. Choir from Mt. Sinai MBC in Orlando, "The iWitness," a DraMuSign from the Scripture, and much more! For more information on this year's tour, click here to see their entire schedule, and to see if they will be close to you!

One of the functions we will be at is a Deaf Fellowship at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, Texas on Saturday afternoon, July 30th. Click here to get specific details concerning that function.

WORD BORN!
Jesus said to the people that believed in Him, "If you continue to obey my teaching, you are truly my followers. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." [John 8:31-32]
We are the only Christian-based organization that provides family and community support services and language learning opportunities to and for the 180,000 Deaf and their families here in Central Florida. We strive in everything we do to bring awareness to the facts, i.e., there is no unintentional learning for Deaf children, most Deaf people CANNOT read lips (speech) (contrary to popular belief), and yet the Deaf CAN succeed, given an opportunity, because with God ALL things are possible.  

Take a look at this wonderful little video of Helen Keller, and some steps that Annie Sullivan took to open up the world for her:
