Film Portraying Jesus’ Life in Sign Language is Coming in June

🎥 The Gist: “JESUS: A Deaf Missions Film” will be the first film about Jesus’ life portrayed entirely in American Sign Language (ASL), debuting in theaters on June 20.

🤔 Why It Matters: This film aims to make the story of Jesus accessible to the Deaf community, bridging a gap that often leaves Deaf individuals feeling disconnected from mainstream Christian media.

❓ What’s Happening:

• Deaf Missions collaborated with GUM Vision Studio to produce this film.
• The project was inspired by the lack of accessible Christian media for Deaf individuals.

🖼️ The Big Picture: This film not only represents a significant cultural moment for the Deaf community but also encourages inclusivity within the Christian faith. It highlights the importance of providing spiritual resources in all languages, ensuring that the message of Jesus reaches everyone.

💭 Our Take: This project is a remarkable step toward inclusivity, showing a deep respect for the Deaf community and their unique cultural and linguistic needs. It’s a powerful reminder of the importance of making the Gospel accessible to all people, from all walks of life, and with all needs.
