Most of the 1.2 million deaf people living in Vietnam are unable to read, and they
are often ostracized from society and denied any educational opportunities. That
is why American Bible Society is partnering with Vietnam Partnership to share
God’s love with the deaf community in Vietnam through an innovative video
translation. By sharing Bible stories through sign language, this project brings
the gospel to life in a way that immediately connects with the deaf population.
“As a deaf person, it is very hard to understand written books,” reports one
deaf Christian named Nguyen. “When we translate into sign language with our
grammar, we are helping both the Christians to grow deeper in God and helping
non-believers have a chance to know about Jesus through the Bible stories.” Your
generous partnership brings hope to people otherwise cut off from God’s Word.
