A training course themed "Hearing People Learn Sign Language" was resumed last Saturday in Nanjing, Jiangsu.

On its official WeChat account last Tuesday, Nanjing Vineyard Bookstore in Gulou District announced the continuation of the course training people with normal hearing to serve or communicate with deaf people on Saturday afternoon.

After starting back in September 2020, the training course was later suspended for three months since mid-July this year due to a second wave of COVID-19 in Nanjing. The class was given for free by a deaf female Christian named Chen Lirong, who graduated from the special education seminar of Heilongjiang Theological Seminary and is currently engaged full time in the deaf fellowship of a Nanjing church.

At the end of the announcement, it stated that believers who would like to serve in the deaf ministry were welcome to sign up.
