CD-ROM Computer Generated Pictures:

John Blake had now finished the preparation of a special CD-ROM with over 3000 Bible pictures, contemporary pictures, and Easy English texts so that Pastors of the Deaf, and deaf laymen, can have pictures for the preparation of computer generated graphical presentations for Bible studies, sermons & lectures. The CD has about 500 extra adapted slides using carefully chosen Easy English version texts of the Bible instead of the regular grade 12 KJV and grade 9 NKJV Bible texts. This set is now available for use with deaf or in any situation where Easy English is needed.  It sells for about $65 in US funds.  If you like to know more about it, please email John Blake at: office@deafhope.org

Health & Family Life Community Services:

* TORONTO 2000 SERIES:

A special series of evangelistic meetings in Sign Language has now been conducted in Toronto, Canada, from June 3-24, 2000 in conjunction with the Dr. Walter Pierson city-wide crusade. Pastor David Trexler, Associate Director of Adventist Deaf Ministries, was the speaker. Pastor Trexler is deaf himself, and the full series of meetings will be in Sign Language, with voice interpretation. The location was conducted at the same basic time and location as the Dr. Pierson series, though in a different room. Trexler used computer graphics to illustrate all his lectures. All meetings were free. There are pictures in the picture gallery.
