Silent Word
Ministries, established in 1966, is a missionary - evangelistic
outreach to deaf people, families and churches; writing and
printing fundamental Bible
materials that can be trusted. Our goal is to win
people to Christ, to help build deaf ministries; to establish deaf
ministries; to strengthen Deaf people into mature Christians with sound
Bible literature. We are a fundamental, non-profit, tax
exempt ministry to the deaf. We are unique in that we specialize
in deaf ministry.
This month we are sending the letter in summary
form.

David
Bennett conducted SWMI annual board meeting. It was
very profitable!
August 12 - The new T.N.T.
Teaching & Training Institute, was dedicated. We were
pleasantly surprised with the number of people attending the occasion.
The new "Merrill Chapel" was filled and
overflowing. Much fun was made about this being my "last
hurrah - again!" We reviewed the past and presented goals for
the future. The new T.N.T. program is projected for
2008 either in the Spring or Fall.
August 13-15 -
Conducted SWM’s annual mission’s retreat. We taught
to make your calling as a missionary sure. To keep
the mission in the missionary - To keep the missionary in the mission.
We challenged everyone to "Drive their stakes deep this coming
year" and prepare for the new ministries before us.
