I wish I had found this site before!

I found Online Baptist while looking for web sites of independent Baptist churches. My wife and I are new to deputation and are trying to find independent churches that are open to taking on new missionaries. Pray for us as we raise support. We are working with the deaf in the US and abroad.

We were in Jamaica for a week during the first part of July and saw 35 come to Christ, praise the Lord! We saw 27 more come to Christ at deaf camp in Tennessee. The Lord is convicting the hearts of many deaf right now, and we need to reach them before the JWs and Mormons do.

Our goal is to train deaf to start churches and ministries. The hearing are really failing with getting the gospel to the deaf.
Pray for us.

welcome!

this site might come in handy:

you'll find them near deaf schools and colleges. they stay together like a tight knit family. Mainly because deaf schools are usually boarding schools and they grew up with it.

three of my grandma's sisters who were deaf, grew up in a boarding school.

Are you the same Dave Smith that, I think, had a camp in Iowa or something?

Anyway, welcome!

Welcome, we'll leave the Light on for you.

My wife and I are interpreters for our church (http://fbcrsmt.org/). Stop on by if you are ever in the neighborhood. We have about 11 deaf members.
