“Deaf people don’t understand things from a hearing person’s perspective.”
Hundreds of signed languages around the world don’t have God’s Word. See how the Bible comes alive for Deaf people in El Salvador when it’s translated into their language for the first time.

“The more you pray, the more will be revealed. You will appreciate not only the greatness of prayer, but the greatness of God.”
Joni Eareckson Tada
Through the prayer, we will see the greatness of God in the nations, we will see the glory of God revealed in the life of each people in the world.
This coming May 5th is the National Day of Prayer. Let’s all of us have some time to pray, seek God’s face, and stand in the gap between God and the unreached people groups in the world (Ezekiel 22:30b). God is looking for people who wants to do that so that He will not destroy those nations.
Translation is what opens the window, to let the light in.
It breaks the shell, so that we may eat the kernel.
It pulls the curtain aside, so that we may look into the most holy place.
It removes the cover from the well, so that we may get to the water…
In fact, without a translation in the common language, most people are like the children at Jacob’s well (which was deep) without a bucket or something to draw the water with; or like the person mentioned by Isaiah who was given a sealed book and told ‘Please read thus,’ and had to answer, ‘I can not, because it is sealed.’ (Isaiah 29:11)
