Understaffed, Online Deaf Ministry Reaches Out to Mass People

After nearly four decades, the first complete Bible has been available in American Sign language for those in the deaf community to own a Bible in their heart language the first time ever, but any project on recording the entire Bible in sign language has not started in China. There is still much work to be done for the deaf ministry. "It was unrealistic for me alone to teach them the Bible as more deaf people in the countryside would come to Christ. Mature co-workers would not be developed in short terms because ordinary people would be trained for three to five years. The virtual pastoral ministry came to our mind," a committed worker said.

Pastors Should Connect More Closely with Believers When Only Online Services are Possible

Although we accumulated some online service experience last year, there are still lots to improve. Pastors should also build tight bonds with church deacons because pastoring a church cannot be accomplished by the pastor alone. Pastors should try to care about any difficulties or unhappiness in believers' lives and pay more attention to their problems to see if they could offer any help to tackle their challenges.
