This International Week of Deaf People, pray for Gospel opportunities — because there are still barriers

International (MNN) — Next week is International Week of Deaf People. It also comes at the end of National Deaf Awareness Month in the United States. Why is Deaf awareness so crucial? Many might assume that sign languages are universally recognized and supported, but the reality is different. In fact, nearly 80% of countries do not officially recognize their local sign language as a national language. (Photo courtesy of DOOR International) Rob Myers, President and CEO of DOOR Internatio
