Saul & Rebecca Thurrowgood
Less than 2% of Deaf people around the world are Christian because they cannot access Scripture in a language they understand – sign language. Wycliffe Bible Translators is working to bring God’s Word to the Deaf through video translations. This will enable the gospel to reach the hundreds of sign languages of Deaf communities globally. The key to getting the Scriptures into the hands of the Deaf within our generation is using technological advances in animation and smartphones. This can take decades off the translation of sign languages and provide a solution for projects operating in sensitive areas. Saul and Rebecca are working on an innovative software development project aimed at solving these issues. Saul’s experience in research and software programming in vision systems, and Rebecca’s experience in sign language and Deaf culture, makes them uniquely positioned for this type of work. Ultimately it is their hope and prayer that you would join them in enabling sign language translations to be completed, and see the empowerment of Deaf translators and Deaf leaders to reach and disciple their own communities.
