Deaf Ministry Leo Yates Jr

Deaf ministry has a myriad of ways to engage faith communities with Deaf, hard-of-hearing, late-deafened, and Deaf-blind persons and their families. This book provides ministers, interpreters, pastors, students, lay people, and those feeling called to Deaf ministry with an introduction to the variety of ministry models. From the book, Deaf Ministry: A Comprehensive Overview of Ministry Models, these collected readings presented in this introduction are intended to provide a brief overview of each ministry model, as to educate, interest, and inspire persons to serve in Deaf ministry. Though this book is an introduction, it still provides the heart of the comprehensive book. Readers are introduced to the interpreting ministry model, the hard-of-hearing and late-deafened ministry model, a disability ministry, the Deaf missions model, the Deaf-blind ministry model, along with other models, including a chapter about implementing a new Deaf ministry. It's a must have resource for any church library.
