PRAISE REPORTS:
-We had a DeafBlind Day by having a DeafBlind service in the morning where DB people took over most of the service.  In the afternoon, there was DeafBlind Hands On Day and it was a success by learning more about the DeafBlind community!  There were 9 different booths to learn how DB people live, and we had three booths to explain the cross, the nail, and the flagrum of Jesus’ crucifixion.  At the end of the day, we had a service.  We had 54 people included 14 DB.  Thank you to the people who helped working for this event!
