23rd of September is International Day of Sign Languages.

We commend all those individuals, groups, NGOs, Charities, Foundations and others who engage in one form or the other of providing sign languages to those who require same. 

God bless your labour and work of love.

May we not do anything in vain.

Have you ever seen people with physical disabilities communicate?

I have. There was this one time I entered Edo State Comrade Bus, there were a number of school children who entered and everyone noticed that they all communicated among themselves with hand signs.

While some use Braille to read, others use hand gestures or signs while others use audio or hearing aids.

God is great and makes a way where there seems to be no way. 

But many ascribe the ingenuity to man and science, what a miss!

It is all God.

We are happy to know that ODB (which we want to raise money for this month) is involved in producing materials for people with physical disabilities in order to communicate God’s Word to everyone notwithstanding. So please let us support them, thank you!

How can we improve sign language in Nigeria?

How can we contribute to those already at the fore front of helping people communicate in sign language?

Can you read sign language?

Join us to donate Braille materials to the School for the Deaf in Edo. We have done this in Ekiti and Oyo. Let it spread around Nigeria and beyond.

Remember Luke 1: 59 So it was, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him by the name of his father, Zacharias.

60 His mother answered and said, "No; he shall be called John."

61 But they said to her, "There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name."

62 So they made signs to his father--what he would have him called.

63 And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, saying, "His name is John." So they all marveled.

64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, praising God.

Remember the ultimate law is love.

God is love.

There is no answer outside of God.

Your life in God is most important.

In all your research, submit to Jesus Christ and be fervent.

PRAYER FOR FORGIVENESS. We have ridiculed the absolute truth of God's word and called it 'pluralism'. We have worshipped other gods and said 'give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar'. We have endorsed pervertion and called it 'alternative life style'. We have exploited the poor and called it 'lottery'. We have rewarded laziness and called it 'welfare'. We have committed adultery and called it 'playing around'. We have committed fornication and called it 'having fun'. We have killed unborn children and called it 'choice'. We neglected to discipline our children and called it 'building self esteem'. We have abused power and called it 'politics'. We have converted our neighbour's property and called it 'ambition'. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it 'freedom of expression'. We have ...

Story Time

  Lisungu Chieza from Zimbabwe was 26 when she was told in 1996 that she was HIV+. "This started my long journey of coping with being HIV+. My husband died in my arms at home eight months later." Not only did Lisungu have to cope with her own illness and losing her husband, but her husband's family also wrongly blamed her for his death. They came to her house, took away his things, and said, "If those children of yours get sick, don't even call us. We won't have anything to do with them or you." They would not even let her go to her husband's burial. "I gave up a college course I had planned to do. All I thought about was death. I neglected my children and myself." But her mother supported her. Lisungu began to find hope again and joined an HIV support group. Then she started to help others who were also HIV+, and took a college course about HIV-AIDS. She spoke at HIV meetings with the young people in her church. She believes that it is ver...
