Workshop for Ministry Leaders Within Churches, Communities and Organizations

Inclusion begins with awareness of Deaf and Hard of Hearing children.

Churches often overlook these children unless they are within their immediate families. Fear and uncertainty can lead to exclusion. This training aims to foster awareness and knowledge within the community and local churches, ensuring that all of God’s children are included in the body of Christ.
