Peach Deaf Ministry

Dear Praying Friends, We have just finished summer vacation and the school children are returning to classes. Yes, they really do things backwards in the southern hemisphere. We even walk upside down! We had a good summer with a couple of relaxing weeks, but we are ready to get back into the full swing of…

Dear Praying Friends, Thank you for your continued support. We completed our first sign language class and are now into our second group of students. We are teaching two classes: beginner and advanced. In the advanced class the students are beginning to think through when they would each be available to interpret based on their…

Dear Praying Friends, We made it through our first winter in South America. Winter? That’s what happens when you go south of the Equator, everything gets turned upside down. Even the calendar. I had a great trip to Las Vegas for the Deaf Nation World Expo. There were over 23,000 people in attendance for the…

Dear Praying Friends, Thank you for praying as we have gotten settled in. We are now very actively ministering to the people around us.

Dear Praying Friends, Nigeria? Since when did Nigeria become a part of Latin America? While our ministry is focused on the Deaf of Latin America, we are also helping missionaries and national workers around the world as a broader ministry through our mission board, BIO. As a result of this ministry I will take a…

Dear Praying Friends, Thank you for your continued prayers. We really needed them over the last couple of months and we can see that God has provided because of you. We had two wonderful camps in Mexico. The first camp was our northern deaf camp called Campamento Henson, named for Bro. Ron Henson who was…

Dear Praying Friends, We are thankful for the Lord’s hand of protection and provision over the last couple of months. As you know from our last prayer letter thieves stole some items out of our house in March. Through generous gifts from a couple of churches and individuals, we have been able to replace the…
