“Dan” is training in Jerusalem and specializing in Biblical Hebrew teaching for translation. He is passionate about Deaf people reviving Scripture in their own sign language. He shares his testimony at the 2024 graduation:<\/p>\n
\u201cNine years ago, I was not a believer in the Lord, and I didn\u2019t follow His ways. I climbed up a tree, intending to kill myself. I saw no point in continuing my life. But God poured out His Holy Spirit on me, and I felt His love. I started serving Him. I served in congregations and churches for eight years. Then, one day, I saw a vision where God told me, ‘You are going to study and teach other students in a land far from your own.’ When I came to Israel, I understood.\u00a0 <\/span>Despite many struggles and problems along the way, God always gave us grace. Now I can sign in Israeli Sign Language! I can speak Hebrew and read Hebrew. Hebrew has become a part of my life. And now I want to say thank you, Father, for giving me a beautiful new way.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/wholewordinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/france-1-980x551.png\")

He is passionate about Deaf people reviving Scripture in their own sign language. He shares his testimony at the 2024 graduation:<\/p>\n \u201cNine years ago, I was not a believer in the Lord, and I didn\u2019t follow His ways. I climbed up a tree, intending to kill myself. I saw no point in continuing my life. But God poured out His Holy Spirit on me, and I felt His love. I started serving Him. I served in congregations and churches for eight years. Then, one day, I saw a vision where God told me, ‘You are going to study and teach other students in a land far from your own.’ When I came to Israel, I understood.\u00a0 <\/span>Despite many struggles and problems along the way, God always gave us grace. Now I can sign in Israeli Sign Language! I can speak Hebrew and read Hebrew. Hebrew has become a part of my life. And now I want to say thank you, Father, for giving me a beautiful new way.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Veelomi Geraldine J.
