February 2008

Dear Friends,

Greetings from Silent Word Ministries. It is exciting to see the Lord's continued blessings! Many of you who support our ministry may not know Sign Language, but you have been faithful to support and send us into the Deaf world. Because of your support, prayers, and help, many Deaf will one day hear in Heaven! Our ministry's mission statement is, "But we will give ourselves ... to the ministry of the word ... to Deaf people" (Acts 6:4).

Doors of opportunity for the Deaf in India are being explored by Missionary David Bennett. At this writing he is there teaching and challenging pastors for deaf ministries. One interested Christian traveled over 3,000 miles from Myanmar to be with David to learn how to minister to Deaf people. Additionally this year, SWM missionaries will be making mission trips to Africa, the Bahamas and the Ukraine. Here is the States, spring Fantastic Saturdays are scheduled beginning February 23 in Florida, Georgia, West Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, New York, South Carolina, Arizona and California.

Please pray for Jon Barr and his family. His father, Joel Barr (Ormond Beach, Florida), unexpectedly went home to be with the Lord on February 1, 2008. He and his brothers, Mark and Phil, need wisdom for the care of their mother, Mary, age 76. Because of medical issues, she needs constant care.

Missionaries Jim and Terry Bracelin announce the birth of their second grand daughter, Maya Jane, on February 1, 2008. She weighed 7 lbs. 4 oz. Her parents are Dave and Jamie (Bracelins' oldest daughter) Faith.

Thank you for your faithful prayers and support for SWM and its missionaries serving to reach Deaf people worldwide. We have learned that God uses ordinary people like us to accomplish extraordinary things for Himself. You are a part of all that is accomplished.

In His Name,

Ted Camp, Founder
