ASL

Last night, the pookies attended their first American Sign Language class. It was a lot of fun. We learned the alphabet and 1-10. I hope the thrill of learning continues, because, even beyond our daughter's hearing needs, we have another good reason to learn this. We learned Sunday at church that only 1% of the global deaf community claim to know Jesus. And I think it is only 2-4% of deaf people that attend church. The deaf community was described as the largest unreached people group and for that, i'm motivated pursue this tool for the Gospel. I can't wait to apply the sign language we've been learning watching the signers on stage at church as they take us through the lyrics of praise songs.
