Brother Eduardo V. Manalo established the
Christian Society for the Deaf
THE LOVE OF GOD to all the
members of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church
Of Christ) never ceases. He showers His love and blessings to all members of
His nation in these last days. The Lord God provided
not only the material needs, but especially the spritual needs of all His
chosen people.
Through the Church Administration
led by our beloved Executive Minister, Brother Eduardo V. Manalo, the Christian Society
for the Deaf was formally established last April 12, 2014.
As early as 2002, the Church
Administration instructed the school administration to incorporate to the curriculum
of the College of Evangelical Ministry (the Church’s school for ministers) the
teaching of sign language to ministerial students. Thus, from then on, graduates of the school knew sign
language. With many church workers that can interpret in sign language the
lessons taught in the worship services, the Church Administration permitted the
establishment of sign language interpretation in various locales in Metro
Manila districts like F. Manalo), M.H. Del Pilar, Tayuman and Luzon, and in
some locales in other ecclesiastical districts like Cavite and Rizal.
With the establishment of sign
language interpretation in congregational worship services in various locales,
this further strengthen the faith of our deaf brethren. In some locales in Metro
Manila, they established Bible Studies and Bible expositions with sign language
interpretation which spearheaded the missionary activities of our deaf brethren and led to the conversion to the Church of many people
with hearing impairment.
Many locales also conducted short
sign language courses for the brethren so that they can effectively communicate
with deaf brethren and non-members.
Thus, prior to the establishment
of the said society, a number of “convention for the deaf” was held from time
to time. These conventions initially organized the deaf brethren from different locales. Last April 12, 2014, at the College of
Evangelical Ministry Auditorium in Quezon City, the Church Administration
officially launched the Christian Society for the Deaf.
The establishment of the society
will further the activities and outreach program fof the Church for the
benifits of our deaf brethren to continue to live
very productive lives and actively fulfilling their duties and services to our
Almighty Father.
To God be all the glories!
