Jordanian Sign Language Interpreters
The book:
“God’s Sign Language”
The 5 Deaf and 3 hearing representatives from the Jordanian Higher Council for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities are safely back in Jordan. They completed the intensive 8-days program with visits to schools and organisations for deaf education and interpreter training.
The last school we visited was Kentalis Compas College Zaltbommel, a secondary school for deaf and hard of hearing. A Deaf employee prepared an interesting program.
There are several special education schools in Holland and one of them is Signis primary Deaf school in Amsterdam, which is part of Koninklijke Kentalis.
In the story ‘Christmas’, Brother Andrew portrays Christmas from a Middle Eastern context. “In the living room of your house, among your family, in your everyday lives, in our hearts is where he wishes to be born today!”
The story below ‘God’s sign language’ is one of the many stories from the book ‘God’s Sign language’. The book is currently published in Dutch.
In the story ‘Crossing Bethany’ Brother Andrew gets into a conversation with someone who has strange dreams: “I think that the Lord Jesus the Messiah, Son of Mary, Peace be upon him, would very much want to get to know you and would really appreciate visiting you.”
