DEAF MINISTRY
I started deaf ministry in the year 2006. I started with two deah people and as at now, their number has been increased to thirty-one. I am both a signer and interpreter.

From my experience, deaf people are lovely, curious, neat, kind, hardworkers and teachable- if only they are handled with knowledge and proper care. I thank God so much that I am endowed with deep knowledge about deaf people.

Early next year January 2009, Two deaf instructors/ interpreters and I are going to innaugurate Deaf Association in my municipality joined with other two Districts at my area in Ghana.

We aim to find them jobs, provide them with good education, educate their parents concerning their responsibilities towards their deaf children, educate society on who deaf people are, what they can do to contribute toward the growth of their society.

My dear readers, I wish you understand and show love to the deaf as I am, an your bleesings will come in abundance.

Do you have any deaf person around you? I love him/her very much. Let him/her have access to my blog: http://helpingstone-ebenezer.blogspot.com/ and my e-mail: korsaheben@yahoo.com or ebenkosee@gmail.com

Come 24th-28th December, 2008, we are attending Deaf Bilble Camp. The outcome will be brought to you. Hope to meet again next Week. God bless you for reading. You can send Questions and contributions.
