Honduras (Tegucigalpa)
School for the Deaf
His Love In Action
EMI Project 5443
October 12 - 24, 2007
Original Project Scope
As you think about how you want to serve God's people, consider this: when you are blind, you lose your connection to the physical world. But when you are deaf, you lose your connection with people- and this is true isolation. Being deaf without being taught how to use sign language means you really lose two of your senses. You can't be relational, you can't communicate, and you can't share ideas or thoughts. With your help, EMI can reach out to those in need and connect those who otherwise would be isolated by communication barriers.
God called Carmen Linder to start a school for the deaf children of Honduras after her own young daughter was discovered to be deaf. Carmen obeyed by starting a school for the deaf in Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras. But the needs continue to grow as God blesses her with a bigger vision which means a larger school needs to be built to reach out to not just the city but all of Honduras and the surrounding countries as well. With the old school being torn down at the end of the school year, a new school needs to be built in February!
Carmen and His Love In Action have already done so much with so little of God's resources. The deaf school is currently in its 18th year of operation and has met the educational needs of over 2,000 children and youth. Many of the school graduates are viably employed in factories and service businesses throughout the capital city. Many are also actively involved in church leadership reaching out to the deaf and hearing-impaired community in Tegucigalpa. Would you consider joining us for this great cause as God's call has grown to serve more?
