There are over 300 million Deaf people in the world. If they were all put together they would form the fourth largest unreached (or unevangelized) people group in the world. Only 2% claim to be Christians. We need your help to reach these people with the gospel!

Raymond and Kathryn Montoya - Missionaries to the Deaf

God has called us to reach the deaf worldwide by; equipping churches for deaf ministries, providing tools to reach the lost deaf, and sponsoring deaf ministries and orphans. Just like other missions, the deaf have their own language (American Sign Language) and culture, but many deaf people live in our neighborhoods. People don’t have to move to a third world country to reach one of the largest unreached people groups in the world.

CB Deaf Ministry helps you learn sign language by providing the tools you need. Using our Worship Workshops and Workshop Specials, learning sign language becomes fun and easy. We also provide prayer and ministry support. Please contact us if you would like us to visit your church of christian fellowship.

Latest News and Updates: Deaf Mission and Intern Opportunity

Posted on Saturday, April 07, 2012.

I'd like to introduce a unique ministry and large development project working with 150 deaf families who lost their homes in the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. It is not only a way to minister to the poorest country in the western hemisphere but a special way to minister to our Deaf brothers and sisters there who are marginalized as happens with cultural misunderstandings in the 3rd world.

The organizational leader of the project is a Christ centered missions organization called The 410 Bridge whose guiding verse is 1 Peter 4:10 "Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in it's various forms". It's an incredible way for American Deaf and those that know ASL to go on a trip and use their gifts as the Haitian Deaf people communicate through ASL.

CB Deaf Ministry and The 410 Bridge are partnering together to bring God's word and education to the Deaf in Haiti. Ray and I had an awesome time working with this vital group of people that have come together out of calamity and are leading us in developing "their" community- both physically and spiritually.

NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER OCCURRED ON THE EARTH BEFORE!

This is the first and only deaf village in history of this size and purpose!

We are planning on returning to Haiti in the near future, if you are interested in going on a mission trip, being a summer intern (details below), doing some fund raising for the Haiti deaf community or just want to ask more questions, please contact us:

Missionary to the Deaf

Internship Description:

Under the direction of Kyle Reschke, Project Manager for Leveque Deaf Community, interns will assist with all aspects of programming for service teams visiting the deaf community. Coordinating educational classes, leadership training, Bible studies, work projects and children’s activities are among the routine duties. Serving as spiritual guide and sign language interpreter for the teams will also be expected. Using proven leadership skills, interns must be mature and self directed to succeed in this role.

While free time breaks will be provided, for safety reasons, interns must remain on the Mission of Hope, 410's Ministry Partner on the project, campuses unless traveling on a Mission of Hope approved internship outing.

While challenging, interns will have opportunities to develop many skills and grow as Christian leaders in this unique environment. The deaf residents of the Leveque community have relocated from temporary housing after the January 2010 earthquake and are now living in beautiful new permanent homes. Engaged in work at Leveque, all interns will be a part of a project and life for a deaf community that is truly unique in Haitian history. Interns will develop deep and lasting relationships with both visiting service teams and the hearing and deaf Haitians. While stretched beyond their comfort zones at times, interns serving in this community are guaranteed a life changing experience and an opportunity to work hard in the pursuit of sustainability for the Haiti Deaf Community.

Selection Criteria:
A strong faith - evidence of a mature faith and desire to serve others above self. Interns will be ministry leaders for the teams as well as Christian leaders within the community. With the rigors and challenges inherent in this community work, this is priority number one.
Experience in leadership - this can come in the form of youth group leadership, collegiate clubs, etc.
Preferably will have experience living abroad or at least 1 short term mission trip abroad. ? Fluency in ASL. Both references for the applicant must support fluency in ASL.
Application deadline for summer 2012 Deaf Community placement is April 15th, 2012.
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. 1 Peter 4:10

Invisible and Unseen...for How Much Longer?
Thoughts on Deaf Ministry—or Rather, on the Unfortunate Lack Thereof
by Ruth Anna Spooner

Picture this: You go to a new church for the first time. Maybe you are a believer; maybe you are not. Either way, the place feels unfamiliar. Where’s the bathroom...the nursery...the free coffee? Once you get past the greeters at the front door and find your way into the sanctuary, the problem of where to sit presents itself.
