This workshop invites ASL interpreters to explore how the Gospel is reaching Deaf communities worldwide through innovative, low-tech and high-tech tools. Participants will view a short film from Renew Outreach highlighting real stories of Deaf individuals encountering the Gospel — including those without access to a formal sign language. Following the screening, a presenter from Renew will lead a discussion on the tools and strategies his organization uses to bridge language and access gaps in Deaf ministry globally. The session will examine the linguistic and cultural challenges Deaf people face in accessing religious content, and how interpreters' work intersects with these broader access issues. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and consider how these innovations might inform their own practice in religious interpreting settings. The workshop aims to deepen interpreters' cultural and contextual knowledge of Deaf ministry work happening around the world.

Presented in English
