What Deaf and Hard of Hearing Institute DBA Deaf Streetlight does
Mission
The mission of the Deaf Institute is to take the good news of Our Lord Jesus Christ to deaf and hard of hearing people. Because deaf people have a unique culture and language, the gospel needs to be presented in a way that speaks to them. Our work includes direct contact, training of deaf and hearing leaders, and helping new and established deaf ministries and deaf churches. We also seek to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the deaf by teaching parents sign language, teaching them to read to their deaf children, providing toys and other goods to parents upon learning that their child is deaf and assuring them that their child can lead a normal and productive life.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The Deaf and Hard of Hearing Institute DBA Deaf Streetlight exists to take the gospel to the deaf and hard of hearing world by encouraging training of ministers with the deaf, helping to establish deaf churches and deaf ministries, developing interpreters for the deaf, teaching sign language, and informing about the needs and abilities of people who are deaf or hard of hearing. We also provide support to families through our Gifts of Hope program and Shared Reading program. During 2024, the number of indiviuals attending our Deaf Camp increased from approximately 60 to 96. This event encourages building stronger bonds within families and communities.

Balance sheet
