As a high school student in Ghana, Emmanuel began hanging around the wrong people, spending most of his time getting high. He eventually started working for dangerous people selling drugs in the area.

Emmanuel’s life was headed down a dark and perilous path — until the moment everything changed.

Emmanuel is deaf and learned about some videos in Ghanaian Sign Language: the one language he clearly understood. He had never seen videos in his language and was curious what they were about.

Those videos were translated Scripture and, as Emmanuel watched, he understood the gospel message and accepted Christ!

“If I hadn’t received God’s Word in this language,” signed Emmanuel, “I would’ve continued working with the drug lord and most likely would’ve been killed.”

God used Scripture — translated with the support of partners like you — to bring Emmanuel from darkness to light. Many more people in the Deaf community in Ghana need God’s Word in a language and format they clearly comprehend.

The vast majority of Deaf Ghanaians have never had the gospel explained to them in a way they understand. Local churches have struggled to communicate effectively with the Deaf community and, as a result, the Deaf often feel ostracized and isolated.

But God’s Word is for everyone in Ghana.

Your gift today will help provide more Scripture in a language that the Ghanaian Deaf clearly understand so more people in their community can know Christ and grow in their relationship with Him.
