Bringing Joy to Jesus Christ

HERE  IN  GAMBIA My trip to Gambia Africa started on Wednesday the 23rd out of St. Louis. I will be living with a deaf family Josiah, Elizabeth, and their two children. I arrived, to New York where I met up with Josiah's deaf parents.  Josiah's parents were flying out for a visit. We traveled together from NY to Gambia. I had a wonderful two-day trip. I am now with the Smith family. They warmly welcomed me to their home. We started getting to know each other so we can work together better. They are aware that I am deaf-blind and welcome me to touch their hands to communicate when I need.

  Gambia   (West Africa) Hello, Family and Friends! I have great news! God has called me to Gambia. Next year I will be working with two deaf missionaries, Josiah and Elizabeth Smith. They have two beautiful deaf children: an eight-month-old and a two-year-old. I met them at my graduation of disciple training school (DTS) last February. They are self-employed missionaries but partnered with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in Gambia. They normally don't have a team but because I obtained God's calling they will.

Youth With A Mission ASL DTS 2017 Youth With A Mission (YWAM) is an international missionary to serving Jesus all over the world by Christians who are from many cultures and a variety of backgrounds. They have the purpose to know God and to make Him known. American Sign Language Disciple Training School (ASL DTS) is a training program for young adults who are using ASL to know God more and make God known to share the gospel about Jesus to the deaf community all over the world. However, in August 2017, I got accepted in an ASL DTS program for 5 months.​ Three Cities in Brazil: Recife, Joao Pessoa, & Belo Horizenote (January 04, 2018 - February 21, 2018)     Our ASL DTS team was called to go to Brazil for our outreach. So many in the deaf churches there are ready to go deeper with Jesus. We were able to show them that God is calling us and them into missions and help to inspire new visions for similar mission opportunities in Brazil! Love in Christ, Kevlasha Humphrey
