Signs of Transformation

For the 2.5 million deaf people living in Ethiopia, mental and emotional isolation are common. Loneliness and community prejudice are hurdles they face every day. They become like outcasts.

Wycliffe Canada hosted workshops that were attended by members of the Ethiopian Sign Language translation team. There, the team learned essential skills for translation. The lead translator, Abel, could easily have given up, but he persevered. He dreams of completing a translation of the whole Bible in his lifetime.

Thanks to the Lord and Abel’s dedicated team, a growing number of people in the Ethiopian Deaf community are finding purpose in Jesus.
