First, we were warmly welcomed by VFCC! We spend Open House weekend with the 6 Deaf students who are involved with the Deaf Program at VFCC! We had an amazing weekend of get to know you games, prayer walks, fellowship and great encouraging conversations spurring one another on in our faith! We were overwhelmed by the hopsitality provided and were blessed by the love we received!
To end the weekend, we were able to attend a Deaf church in town, called Deaf Connect Chruch. Pastor Todd Miller, gave us the whole service to share! Our students shared about the Father Heart of God, by doing a drama, short teaching, storytelling, worship and testimonies about the Father's Heart for us!
After church, we drove to NTID, which is a college for the Deaf on Rochester Institute of Technology campus in Rochester New York. It was a 6 hour drive and we arrived at Victory Baptist Church, who welcomed us to stay for the week! Our week at NTID is hard to describe with words! The students were so eager to know God more and experience Him in new ways! Similar to Gallaudet University, we did evangelistic outreaches during the afternoons. At night we did 2 hour workshops including worship, short teaching, practical application of teaching and small groups! It was an amazing week!
Monday: Hearing God's Voice
Tuesday: Worship
Renca taught how English only has one word for worship but Hebrew has over 50! We picked a bunch of Hebrew words for worship and worshipped Jesus!

One of them was Kara, which means to bend the knee, to sink, bow down self and bring down low and is used in Psalm 95:6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the Lord our maker!
Another one was Guwl, which means to spin around, under the influence of any violent emotion and is used in Psalm 118:24 This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it!
Wednesday: Gospel and Testimonies
Thursday: Culture of Revival!
Each of the students picked a culture piece of revival, such as the culture of thanksgiving, speaking life, faith, just Jesus, courageous leadership, joyful repentance and forgiveness and taught on it!
After the YWAM student taught, each of the NTID students testified which culture piece was one they were going to step into from that day forth! It was a powerful night of hearts being touched and changed by Jesus! It was an honor that He choose to use us!
