A Deaf-led Sustainable Church Planting Movement with Dr. Rob Myers S4 EP#103

In this episode, learn why deafness is more than just hearing loss; it is a unique culture, a rich language, and a community of over 70 million people globally! While 90% of the deaf are born to hearing parents, about 85% of those parents choose not to learn sign language or to sign with their deaf children. Why is that? Ron Myers, CEO of DOOR International, the largest Christian ministry focused on seeing Deaf people reached with the Gospel, joins the Unconventional Ministry Podcast to explain. Deaf people, even those who grow up in Christian homes, can be so close to the Gospel and yet so far from it. Those of us in the hearing world tend to think of deafness as a disability, but many deaf do not regard their deafness as a physical handicap. It is simply how they are and is a distinction they live with.  DOOR International‘s goal is that 50% of the world’s 70 million Deaf will have access to God’s Word in their heart language and a Deaf-led sustainable church planting movement among their own people group by the year 2025. Rob shares how close they really are to their goal. Learn practical ways you can advocate for the deaf as well as help DOOR International reach its 50% sustainable church planting movement goal.
