Bible Stories in Sign Language for the Deaf Community

Most of the content that enriches our Christian lives is not available in sign language, starting with the Bible as a whole. Which significantly limits the access of deaf people to this information. Although subtitles or books exist, not all deaf people find them useful, since sign language is their natural language and main source of information; Also, their level of education does not necessarily reflect the ability to perform efficient reading exercises.

PROBLEM

According to the World Federation of the Deaf, there are more than 70 million deaf people worldwide, and in many countries, accessible content in sign language is extremely limited. The deaf community faces a significant barrier in accessing information, and this includes the Bible and everything that builds a personal relationship with Jesus Christ (praises, devotionals, Sunday school, etc.). Due to the lack of this content in sign language, the deaf are excluded from the opportunity to know Jesus, experience a move of God in their lives, and be transformed.

WHAT SOLUTION DO WE OFFER?

The continuous production of content in sign language, freely accessible through digital platforms (praises, devotionals, Bible stories, resources for Sunday school).

IMPORTANT FACT

In deaf culture there is not a single sign language called Spanish. Each country has its own signs. The acronyms help us identify which country they are from. For example: LSC (Colombian Sign Language), LSM (Mexican Sign Language) and ASL (American Sign Language).

HOW DO WE DO IT?

1. Alienated the fundamental principle of inclusion: "nothing about us without us." We are a mixed team (deaf and hearing) and we ensure that deaf people participate in the creation of content, ensuring that their needs and perspectives are appropriately considered and respected.

2. A careful selection of the topics to be discussed. We are simple because sign language is limited. Faithful, without diluting the truth of the word. And as short as possible, to achieve the longest retention time for the audience with this disability.

3. We have as allies churches and ministries of sound doctrine that have already created their content for digital platforms and have authorized us to interpret it.
