Last night I headed from work directly to the airport, flew to Brisbane, and then was driven to Toowoomba, Queensland. The weather was a bit grey in Melbourne last night!I’m thankful for the invitation to come and present about our team’s ministry, as part of this church’s missions conference. It is always encouraging to meet up with other missionaries and to learn from their experiences.It is also a blessing to have these opportunities to encourage churches to consider the need for Deaf people around the world to receive the Gospel message in their own language.~ Marie ...

Normalmente, cuando encuentra una persona sorda, uno puede averiguar dónde es que el resto de su comunidad se reúne o pasa el rato, pero aquí en Gran Caimán, la comunidad Sorda no parece estar tan bien conectada como estamos acostumbrados a ver en otros lugares. Me alegré mucho cuando vi a esta persona Sorda, que conocimos en una tienda al por mayor, entrando por las puertas de la iglesia en el culto de esta noche. Él ya conoce a Cristo como su Salvador y estaba emocionado por la prédica de John y la comunión que tuvimos después. Él tiene baja visión y tuve el privilegio de interpretar en sus manos una parte del culto de esta noche.Usually, when you find one deaf person, you can figure out where the rest of their community meets or hangs out, but here in Grand Cayman, the deaf community does not seem to be as well connected as we are used to seeing in other places. I was so glad when I saw this deaf man that we met in a wholesale store, coming through the church doors in the service tonight, He already knows Christ as his Savior and was thrilled for John's sermon and the fellowship that we had afterward. He has low vision and I had the privilege of tactile interpreting into to his hands a part of the service tonight. ~Timothy ... See MoreSee Less

The family is in Cayman from another country and we were able to meet with some of them today. We are hoping they can make it to some of the upcoming services and also to our sign language classes and that we can help her family find good education solutions. Please pray with us that God will put his blessing on this work and help this family in every way they need. They are such sweet people.~ Tricia ... See MoreSee Less

The past two weeks in Grand Cayman, I have had the privilege of going with David to experience the Christian school setting. Interpreting is a great job. I get to be part of the fun but still go relatively unnoticed. David has so enjoyed being a part of the Christian school here, making friends, learning from different teachers, and having a tight schedule. The kids and teachers love him, too. David has spread "awareness" about deaf people and sign language just by being himself, and doing normal everyday things. ~ Anna ... See MoreSee Less

S. Marcos 16:15 RVR1960"Y les dijo: Id por todo el mundo y predicad el evangelio a toda criatura." Este es el versículo del ministerio Go Deaf Missions. Es nuestro lema, y era mi sueño de niño, predicar como mi papá, pero al crecer los afanes de este siglo me chocaron. No quería involucrarme en el ministerio y menos predicar frente a un púlpito. Sentia que era demasiado trabajo tratar de pensar qué decir acerca de la Biblia, incluso después de entregar mi vida al ministerio tiempo completo, siempre evitaba las oportunidades que tenía para predicar, diciendo que no necesitaba predicar para servir a Dios. Un día hablando con un evangelista amigo mío, le estaba explicando mi visión del ministerio que quería hacer y él me llevó de vuelta a esa gran comisión que Jesús nos dio, predicar el Evangelio. Ese es el llamado de Dios para cada cristiano, independientemente de si trabajamos en el ministerio o en un entorno secular. Entendí que estaba poniendo límites a lo que Dios querría que hiciera para Él, y agradezco a Dios que después de cambiar mi actitud, Él puso muchas oportunidades en mi vida para predicar, dentro y fuera del púlpito. Hoy quiero alabar al Señor por la bendición que me da para seguir cumpliendo el anhelo que tenía de pequeño, de seguir los pasos de mi papá, y predicar la Palabra de Dios.Mark 16:15 KJV"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."This is the verse of the Go Deaf Missions ministry. It is our statement, and it was my dream as a kid, to preach like my dad, but growing up the cares of this world hit me. I didn't want to be involved in the ministry and even less to preach in front of a pulpit. I used to feel like it was too much work to try to figure out what to say about the Bible, even after I surrendered my life to full time ministry, I always avoided the opportunities that I received to preach, saying that I didn't need to preach in order to serve God.One day, talking to an evangelist friend of mine, I was explaining to him my vision of the ministry I wanted to do and he took me back to that great commission Jesus gave us, to preach the Gospel. That is what God called each Christian to do, regardless of whether we work in the ministry, or in the secular setting. I understood that I was putting limits to what God would want me to do for Him, and I thank Him that after changing my attitude, God put many opportunities in my life to preach, in and out of the pulpit.Today, I want to praise the Lord for the blessing that He gives me to continue fulfilling the desire I had when I was a kid to follow my dad's steps and preach the Word of God.~Timothy ...

“There will come a time when every step of the journey God is taking you on will make sense. Until then, keep trusting Him.”I came across this quote recently, and it has been both a challenge and comfort to me. Looking back on my life I can already see the evidence of how God has been shaping me as a person and preparing me with many skills necessary for ministering with our team, Go Deaf Missions. I am so thankful to our unchanging God, who cannot lie, and promises to direct our paths when we look to Him for guidance in our lives. I know I can also trust Him with my future too.I have recently arrived in Melbourne, and am preparing to return to deputation, as well as my work as an Auslan interpreter.

Irá andando y llorando el que lleva la preciosa semilla; Mas volverá a venir con regocijo, trayendo sus gavillas.Salmos 126:6 RVR1960Realmente es un gozo ver la Palabra de Dios trayendo fe para salvación en las personas. El sábado pasado el equipo y yo fuimos a hacer visitación y encontramos a un hombre sordo, donde tuve el privilegio de llevar a su sobrina nieta a Cristo. Me fue sorprendente ver cuán abierta estaba para aceptar a Cristo ya que las personas en Grenada están expuestas al conocimiento de Cristo, pero aún así, tanto las personas sordas como las oyentes necesitan escuchar el verdadero Evangelio. Oren por nosotros mientras continuamos ayudando a construir un ministerio para sordos y compartiendo el evangelio aquí en Granada.He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.Psalm 126:6 KJVIt truly is a joy to see the Word of God bringing faith for salvation in people. Last Saturday the team and I went out visiting and found a deaf man, where I got the privilege to lead his great niece to Christ. It was surprising for me to see how open she was to accept Christ because people in Grenada are exposed to the knowledge of Christ, but still both deaf and hearing people need to hear the true Gospel.

Missions is cool. We get to do a lot of amazing things that others don't, by nature of the ministry. But we are just like you, ordinary people trying to serve God how He has called us. It's not always exciting and glamorous as some might view it. It doesn't make us more spiritual than other Christians as some might like to think. We are real people and we live real lives. I do a lot of sitting at the table teaching school, and Amanda and David do a lot of sitting at the table learning school. We do laundry and dishes. We make our beds (and sometimes we don't) just like you. We all have our limitations, too. But we serve an extraordinary God and Savior, Who has no limitations, and sometimes God is pleased to use our ordinary, real, everyday lives for something beautiful for His glory. I am thankful God chose to use me. I praise Him for the work He is doing in Amanda and David through me, and the work He is doing through them that I get to admire close-up. Nothing is more rewarding than serving God.~ Anna ... See MoreSee Less

Question - Our team has posted almost everyday about our mission trip. We get very few comments, and we wonder if people are getting our posts. If you are seeing our posts, please post a comment. Thank you.~John ... See MoreSee Less

Go Deaf Missions
He estado interpretando en Lengua de Señas Peruana casi toda mi vida, y por la gracia de Dios también he aprendido Inglés y Lengua de Señas Americana, dos instrumentos adicionales que me permiten servir a Dios en las misiones, ¡Pero nadie me habló de los acentos! ¡He estado luchando para interpretar, estancándome como los nuevos en aprender señas que he ayudado en Perú! A pesar de la frustración y autocrítica, sé que si no practico y sólo dejo de intentarlo ahora, no podré mejorar ni podré servir a Dios de manera efectiva. Ahora estoy experimentando de primera mano, en cada detalle de este viaje, que la teoría de las misiones no se compara con su práctica, y que la experiencia que he adquirido en el ministerio de mi papá no siempre se aplica a cada país. Quiero animar a aquellos que tienen un llamado a servir y se están preparando, a que comiencen a practicar desde donde están ahora y no se limiten a un área determinada de ministerio o región de ubicación. Demos lo mejor de nosotros mismos a nuestro Gran Dios.I have been interpreting in Peruvian Sign Language pretty much my whole life, and by the grace of God I have also learned English and American Sign Language, two additional instruments, allowing me to serve Him in missions, but no one told me about accents! I have been struggling to interpret, stalling like the new signers that I have helped in Peru! Despite the frustration and self-criticism, I know if I don't practice and just stop trying now, I won't be able to improve and serve Him effectively. Now I am experiencing first hand, in every detail of this trip, that the theory of missions is not comparable to its practice, and that the experience I have acquired in my dad's ministry does not always apply to each country. I want to encourage those who have a calling to serve and are preparing, to start practicing from where you are now, and do not limit yourselves in a certain area of ministry or region of location. Let's give the best of ourselves, to our Great God.~Timothy ... See MoreSee Less

Go Deaf Missions
We are having an amazing trip to St. Lucia. When we arrived, Pastor Philbert welcomed us with, "Welcome to Paradise." The flora of the island certainly affirms he is correct. We have been teaching sign language at Ambassador Baptist Church and have had the opportunity to visit two schools for children with special needs, including the deaf. People have been so friendly, kind, and welcoming. Today we had the chance to share the Gospel with a few deaf teachers and their students. Some of the teachers are Christians and were very happy to allow us to speak with their deaf and hard of hearing students. It was nice to have Ambassador's deaf pastor Kandal to drive us to the north end of the island today, which is more affluent than where the church is in Vieux Fort. After meeting with the Deaf we are considering the possibility of having a special service for the Deaf in this area in the near future. They tell us the majority of the Deaf live in this area.Pastor Philbert has asked us to pray that God would expand our ministry and create a team to reach the Deaf across the Caribbean. We are praying about what part God will allow us to have in this. It is beautiful to have a pastor who can hear to have such a great burden for the Deaf. We believe God is going to bless it. In a couple of weeks we will be going to Grenada for four weeks and then to Dominica for a little over three weeks. The goal is to lay a foundation for deaf ministries on these islands. We also have an invitation to go to the Cayman Islands early in 2023 before moving to Portugal. We are praying God will give us this opportunity.We have had difficulty getting wifi, but think we have it worked out now. For some reason despite several calls to our bank, our bank cards are being declined everywhere. ATM withdrawals are going through but there is a daily limit. It makes it hard to keep enough cash on hand. There have also been several available visa appointments for Timothy but the US Embassy site has declined every credit card we have tried. Please pray we can get this resolved. It has been unseasonably warm here. We are very grateful for a house with air conditioning where we can be cool at night. When we are outside the air sticks to us. The humidity is between 94 and 98 percent. Usually a breeze cuts the heat just a little.From time to time, we run out of water, but so far we have not been without water for more than a day at a time. We are figuring out ways to adapt to what we have available to us and are managing well. Above all we are so happy to be with our team. Pray God will continue to open doors for us here.~Tricia ...

¡La última persona que hubiera esperado encontrar en Santa Lucía es el pastor Marvin Smith de Iowa! La última vez que lo ví estaba en Efata en Lima Perú, y me acababa de rendir a misiones, fue emocionante encontrarme con él en la conferencia en Santa Lucía, ahora sirviendo como misionero con Go Deaf Missions. Fue una bendición para mí en Perú y nuevamente en la conferencia aquí en Santa Lucía.The last person I would have expected to find in Saint Lucia is pastor Marvin Smith from Iowa! the last time I saw him I was in Efata in Lima Peru, and I had just surrendered to missions, it was exciting to bump into him at the conference in Saint Lucia now serving as a missionary with Go Deaf Missions. He was a blessing to me in Peru and again in the conference here in St. Lucia. ~Timothy ... See MoreSee Less
