About

LLDD

Our organization was formed in April 2011 to meet the needs of the Deaf community in Myanmar. Deaf people are a minority with their own language – Sign Language – and their own Deaf culture. Deaf people have difficulty understanding a written Bible which reflects a spoken language they can’t hear, so they need Scripture in their own language. Sign Language is a visual language that doesn’t have a printed form, so our Bible is in video format. Our organization has a Board and 7 staff members: 1 Hearing and 8 Deaf.

    Vision: For the Deaf in Myanmar to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Tim. 2:4)

     

    Goals:   

    1) to translate the Bible into Sign Language for the Deaf in Myanmar.

    2) to teach the Bible using Sign Language

     

    Activities:

    1) translating Scripture and Bible stories into Myanmar Sign Language

    2) Bible teaching in Myanmar Sign Language

    3) Awareness-raising about Deaf and Sign Language in churches in Myanmar
