DOOR International

DOOR International Deaf reaching Deaf for Christ There are an estimated 70 million Deaf people worldwide, and less than 2% of them know Christ.

DOOR International’s mission is to bring God’s Word and reproducing Christian fellowships to the Deaf of the world. Our calling is two-fold: translation and training.

--We help Deaf communities translate the Bible (and other resources) into their sign languages.
--We train and equip Deaf leaders in evangelism, discipleship, and church planting to reach their communities for Christ.

Part 3 of DOOR's history is here! 🤟

Swipe through to see the milestones that mark over 40 years of Deaf leaders rising, sign language Scriptures coming to life, and the gospel reaching communities that had never seen God's Word in their heart language.

Every milestone is a person. Every translation is a community with access to the gospel for the first time. Every year is evidence of God's faithfulness to the Deaf world. 🌍

If you missed Part 1 or 2, go back and see where the story began. And stay with us — the next chapter is still being written.

Pray for the Deaf leaders and translation teams continuing this work today. 🙏

For many Deaf people, God’s Word has never been in their heart language.
But that’s changing.

Every sign. Every movement. Every moment captured brings Scripture to life in a way that can finally be seen and understood.

This is more than translation.
It’s access. It’s connection. It’s truth made visible.

God was building something bigger than anyone could see at the time. 🤟Every milestone is a reminder: Deaf people are not...

God was building something bigger than anyone could see at the time. 🤟

Every milestone is a reminder: Deaf people are not an afterthought in God's mission. They are leaders, church planters, and carriers of the Gospel in their own communities and their own languages. 🙏

There is still more! Stay tuned for Part 3!

Millions of Deaf people are still waiting to experience God’s Word in their heart language. Many sign languages still have no Scripture translation.

Pray for Deaf communities still waiting for own first sign language Bible translation. 🙏

Every movement starts with a single step of obedience. 🤟

In 1983, Vesta Bice founded Reaching Out to Texas Deaf with a simple yet powerful conviction: Deaf people deserve access to the gospel in their heart language.

Swipe through to see how that one act of faithfulness became DOOR International.

This is only the beginning. Stay tuned for Part 2! 🙏

Lord, we pray for unity among Deaf churches across every nation, culture, and sign language. 🤟

Though languages and traditions may differ, may the Deaf community around the world be united in Christ — encouraging one another, growing together in faith, and reflecting Your love across borders.

Pray for stronger connections, deeper understanding, and a shared mission to make Jesus known in every Deaf community. 🌍

How do Deaf people hear worship?

Worship goes beyond sound.

It’s seen in every sign, felt in every vibration, and experienced through every heart fully present before God.

A calling denied—but not a mission defeated.

In 1983, J.E. Bice was told he couldn’t serve as a Deaf pastor because of his deafness. But what others saw as a limitation, God used to spark something greater. Through his daughter Vesta’s faith and obedience, a vision was born—one that continues to empower Deaf leaders and bring the Gospel to Deaf communities around the world.

What was once a “no” became a movement. 🤟 ✝️

There are still millions of Deaf individuals waiting to experience God’s Word in their own language. That reality is urgent—and it calls for action.

We can’t stay silent when access to the Gospel is still out of reach for so many. 🤟

Sign language changes everything. 🤟

It opens the door to understanding, belonging, and truth in a way that truly connects with the heart.

When Deaf individuals have access to their heart language, they don’t just receive information—they experience it.
