This past Sunday, two worlds in Dan and my life meet! The Deaf church in San Jose Costa Rica and 30 staff and students from YWAM San Jose. Dan and I taught, the YWAMers basic communication in Lesco so the students could communicate their names, where they are from, what they like to eat and more. All of the students introduced themselves and where they are from in front of the whole church. Above the students and a member, Kathia of the church are having a deeper conversation so I am interpreting to help communication flow.
I had the opportunity to share about what is YWAM and what is a DTS. Planting the seed for the future for youth in the Deaf church to want to do a DTS, when we start one in ASL!
All the YWAMers had the opportunity to experience worshipping the Lord in a new way! Worship through our hands, facial expressions and emotions with a bass drum to keep the beat (the Deaf way).
I was able to interpret the message for the hearing folks! The message was great about our new identity in Christ! It was an amazing Sunday full of new opportunities and partnerships for the future!
