Wycliffe Associates and a ministry to the deaf have announced a new partnership to translate the Bible into sign language for the millions of people who do not have access to the Scriptures. Deaf Opportunity Outreach International (DOOR) will work with Wycliffe Bible Translators and teams of deaf translators to bring the Scripture to video format. ‘Being blind separates you from things, but being deaf separates you from people,’ explained Bruce Smith, president/CEO at Wycliffe Associates. ‘We want to make sure that being deaf doesn’t separate you from God,’ Smith said. According to Wycliffe Associates there are more than 200 identified sign languages being used in the world and some 70 million people worldwide communicating with sign language.

Praise: God for the work of Wycliffe and DOOR bringing the Word of God alive to all people. (Ro.8:35a)
