Door International’s ministry to deaf communities around the globe

Family Life’s “Missions Pulse” feature

The people who are served by the ministry organization Door International cannot hear this Family Life news feature.

Which is all the more reason why you should listen to this.

Rob Myers and Door’s other workers and volunteers are active in an evangelism effort to reach out to a people group in which only 1 of every 50 people are followers of Jesus. The outreach is to deaf individuals and communities. Myers “opens the door” for our listeners to understand why it is so hard to share Good News and provide Scriptures to deaf people.

Door says the most fruitful evangelists to deaf people — in whatever nation it is — are Christ’s believers who also cannot hear.  As is true in many other faith-sharing efforts, people with direct connections to the indiginous population have an authority and a commeraderie that outsiders need to take long times to develop.  Church planters and evangelists who share the same un-hearing circumstances as other deaf people often are best able to bring those people to a relationship with Jesus.

The ministry also is active in translating 110 Biblical narratives into sign languages. This is a massive task — if you are thinking only about ASL (American Sign Language), you are forgetting about the other 375 sign languages around the world.

National Soaring Museum – Elmira NY – Staycation Destinations

The Soaring Museum is an interesting placed to visit any time, but the week ahead (July 6-13) has a unique event while comes to our listening area only once every four years.

 

Some two dozen motorless aircraft “descend” on Elmira, New York for the International Vintage Sailplane Meet. The event is free and open to the public.

Sailplanes are more than “gliders”. Gliders are towed into the air and remain aloft only as long as they can resist gravity. Sailplanes though are specially engineered to catch the updrafts and wind currents so they can stay aloft much longer.

Local aviation historian Traff Doherty is our guest for this week’s “Staycation Destinations”. He provides:

  • details about the experiences for spectators of the Sailplane Meet
  • history of how the unpowered planes were used, especially in wartime
  • why Harris Hill and Elmira became the center of the national Sailplane community
  • more about the National Soaring Museum, for anyone who wants to visit — during the Meet, or beyond those eight days
