Christian Mission for the Deaf Nigeria
Christian Mission for the Deaf is a non-profit organization focusing on meeting the spiritual needs of deaf Africans. Deaf people face many barriers to “hearing” the Word of God. Illiteracy, isolation and geographical distance pose communication problems that are not easily overcome. Furthermore, the very nature of deafness complicates the problem since it is not an externally visible trait and stays out of sight for most mission organizations.
Since its founding by Andrew Foster in 1956, CMD’s objectives have been to organize, operate, promote and encourage Gospel and education work among the deaf of Africa. Training local African Christian workers and leaders has been an instrumental method of our outreach.
How can you get involved?
CMD is supported by prayer and faith. While some schools for the deaf receive public assistance, the remainder of the schools, as well as all Gospel work, are supported by the Lord’s people.
There are a number of ways to get involved. In dependence upon God, the Lord has burdened a good number of Christian individuals, assemblies, churches, Sunday Schools and others to share by prayer, love gifts and service. Those with spiritual maturity, personal ability and a willingness to learn make excellent candidates for personal service on the field. Biblical education and training or experience in the field of deafness is also preferred. Special courses, such as language, may be required. Each worker must have a heart for evangelizing lost souls and a desire to build up deaf believers in the Lord.
Here are some specific ways you can be involved with CMD:
Tangible Support
Resources like Bibles, literature, films, visual aids and equipment are desperately needed
Financial Support
Because CMD is a non-profit organization, all gifts, bequests, memorials, grants and donations to CMD are tax deductible
Spiritual Support
Pray for us (2 Thess 3:1). Our news letter, Deaf Witness, is sent to active supporters, and discusses many concerns in need of prayer
Keep us in your thoughts: Include us in your prayers, mission projects, church, Sunday Schools, prayer meetings, etc, and help share the word of what God is doing through CMD.
Jesus said: “In as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me” – Matt 25:40.
This includes deaf people too!
