Most of the Salvadoran deaf don\u2019t identify with a religion because they haven\u2019t had the opportunity to learn about God. In order to grow in their faith and knowledge of God, they need Scripture available in Salvadoran sign\u00a0language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Salvadoran sign language translation team has already translated 38 Bible stories \u2014 but they aren\u2019t done yet! This year they plan to complete portions of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, 1\u00a0Timothy and 1\u00a0Peter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A video format is used to share God\u2019s Word in Salvadoran sign language because hand gestures, body language and facial expressions are so important in signed communication. The Scripture videos are then released on\u00a0DVD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A local El Salvador church is a strong partner in this translation endeavor, and their entire congregation is committed to working with the deaf. Just like the translation team, they feel that it\u2019s God\u2019s calling on their lives to provide Scripture for the over 46,000 people in El Salvador\u2019s deaf\u00a0community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>John 1:12:<\/strong> &#8220;But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Post written by: Rose Lucas<br>Edited by: Pearl Morley<br>Photo credit: James Staddon (To learn more about him and his photography please visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lenspiration.com\/\">www.lenspiration.com<\/a>.)<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pray for endeavors around the world translating the Bible into sign language for the deaf, particularly for the endeavor in El Salvador.
