At the beginning of this year, we talked with the Deaf and asked them about learning His stories and why it was so hard for them to remember them. Before they had used pictures in a chronological method but many were having a hard time repeating the stories or helping others remember the signiicance of the pictures so we wanted to try something new. Some said they wanted to learn the stories but use one positive and one negative story for each verse so that they could better understand the application of the truths. So we are using a new method to help the Deaf learn His stories. We first teach a short Bible verse that they are able to memorize and then we teach the application of that verse using both the positive and negative example. This method has generated an excitement and enthusiam among the Deaf and they are learning the stories. This past Sunday we asked how many remembered the verse and almost all of the church individually got up and recited the verse. What a blessing to see them ¨hide God´s word in their hearts¨!
