The Organization is run by a board that is about 70% deaf. It's purpose is to promote ministry to the Deaf around the world, prepare materials, and train both deaf and hearing in evangelism. It has a special relationship with the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists Multi-Lingual Department.
