The Position
We are looking for partners who have a passion to reach the Deaf community in Portugal with the Gospel. Our ultimate goal for our Deaf Ministry is that deaf will trust Christ as Savior, grow in knowledge of God’s Truth, and reach other deaf themselves.
Deaf Ministry workers will help in deaf services and events, make contacts in the Deaf community and build relationships. There is room for a lot of creativity in choosing methods for connecting with deaf individuals. For example, one could help plan deaf social activities OR interpret at a public event OR something else. The same is true for choosing evangelism and discipleship methods.
Interested hearing or deaf individuals should have an understanding of a signed language. Upon arriving in Portugal, they will be expected to study Lingua Gestual Portuguesa (LGP). It will also be helpful to gain a knowledge of written and spoken Portuguese.
