Deaf Ministry

There are people in churches across Arkansas who stay at home each week because they are unable to hear the church services. Few churches have signers in their church.

Ruby Swanigan from right here in Arkansas is willing to come to your church to train interpreters in order to bring deaf people into your church.

If you would be interested in talking with Ms. Swanigan please contact her at 870-879-5900.
