Serving the deaf community 

 

SOWER HOUSE

Since 1994, YWAM Belo Horizonte has had a team working with the deaf. During this period of time, a wide variety of actions have been developed with the help of the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) to show the love of Jesus.

 

OUR VISION

WHAT WE DO

In 2000 the base acquired the Sower House aiming to have a larger space to meet the needs of this ministry to deaf children and adolescents, especially those in vulnerable situations. 

 

Deafness itself causes these individuals to face multiple barriers since childhood. However, associated with poverty and dysfunctional homes can create larger consequential problems.

 

Children who hear acquire language without any particular effort; the words that fall from others’ lips they catch on the wing, as it were, delightedly, while the little deaf child must trap them by a slow and often painful process.” (Helen Keller)

 

 "And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?"(Romans 10: 14b)

 

What we do:

  • Offering assistance to families with deaf children/teenagers;

  • Organizing evangelistic events and lectures at schools where there are deaf students;

  • Offering talks at churches and conferences on how to minister to the deaf.

 

OPPORTUNITIES

Even people who have not had prior contact with deaf and do not know sign language are welcome:

 

Be a missionary staff member at the Sower House!

To become a full-time missionary staff member in the Sower House, you must first undergo a training course on missions called DTS (Discipleship Training School).
