    RESOURCES

From time to time people have questions about learning sign language and how to build a deaf ministry. Two resources available on Amazon.com are available. The two books are written by the pastors.

This book was written by Rev. Peggy Johnson. Johnson's experience and insight flow from page to page for readers of all ages. It is truly an inspiring book of how Johnson is open to God's call to deaf ministry. The book includes a devotional study guide by Rev. Robert Walker. Walker is a retired United Methodist minister with Usher's Syndrome.

 

A helpful resource for sign language interpreters and churches beginning a deaf ministry is the book written by Leo Yates, Jr. This book is a comprehensive overview of the role of the interpreter. A few of the chapters: Ethical Issues, Intricacies of Interpreting, Analysis and Application, Weddings & Funerals, and a Religious Sign Dictionary.

 

                 

A common need for new deaf ministries is the services of a sign language interpreter. The Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID) has a registry listed by city and state. When one searches its database it is best to search by state. More names will be listed. Be sure to search both certified and associate (non-certified) interpreters.
