Deaf Hard of Hearing Ministry at Assembly

United Methodist Deaf Hard of Hearing Ministry

had a booth at the United Women of Faith Assembly in May. It was the first time DHM hosted a booth and it was busy nonstop!

 

People at the booth shared information with people from across the country and world on Deaf ministry, interpreters, and the youth event at Daytona Beach, July 25-28, 2023. One woman from Africa who visited the book shared about 500 Deaf children for whom she cares.

 

They also discussed Deaf prison ministries and went to classes such as Restoring Just Relationships, Climate Justice, and Ending Poverty.

 

They explored Deaconesses and Home Missioners for Deaf Ministry as well. Bishop Peggy Johnson,  retired Bishop from the Eastern Pennsylvania and Peninsula-Delaware Conferences, shared that only one other person has done this and offered her support.
