It is a blessing to give opportunities to the Deaf so they can be a part of the community rather than being an outcast. My local church has a deaf church employee who serves as an administration assistant and does janitorial work. A Deaf person is very eager to communicate with you and wants to be involved in a ministry within your church. Deaf have been known for using many alternatives including lipreading, writing notes, gestures, unclear speaking, and using interpreters to communicate because they want to overcome the barrier. The communication barrier exists because folks are not willing to find alternatives to communicate. Don’t say that there is a communication barrier and there is nothing you can do. Don’t stay silent and feel sorry for them. This message urges you to encourage, strengthen, comfort, instruct, teach, and admonish Deaf in your community. Every one of us is part of this community to minister to one another.

We are called together so we can do the things God wants us to do together. A community of believers comprise a full spectrum people of ethnicity, age, socioeconomic status, education, and disabilities.Īcts 2:42–47 says that discipleship, fellowship, worship, ministry, and evangelism all are to take place within the context of community. Once we accept Christ, it is important that we join in with a community of believers.

When we hear the Lord’s voice in our heart and we respond to Him, God is not only calling us to Him. 1 Corinthians 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three but the greatest of these is charity.ġ Thessalonians 5:14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
