Hi Deaf Harvest Friends,
This year has been a year of restructuring, as we determined in 2010 that God wants to do far more with this ministry than can be accomplished through one person.
Therefore, in February, we re-defined the roles of each member of our board and added two more official board members.
Our corporation was renewed with the Secretary of State as an incorporation and charitable organization 501c3, which allows gifts to be contributed to our ministry, and donors to count it on their income taxes as a charitable donation.
Since we wanted to move our focus to the international ministry, we chose not to display materials at conferences this year. Rather, funds have been spent on Deaf Teen Ministry and International Missions. Donations have allowed us to support two Deaf orphanages in Africa, purchase 12 hearing aids for a Deaf outreach in India, as well as organize a more direct outreach to Deaf teens in the Atlanta area.
Our website continues to be active at www.deafharvest.org and has been updated with a more user friendly format.
We gave Bibles to several Deaf individuals in 2010 as they were in need of a Bible. The two Bibles we recommend for the Deaf are the FCA Game Plan Bible and the International Children’s Illustrated Bible as these Bibles are written primarily
in active voice which is an easy-to-read version. In addition, we recommend the new ASLV (American Sign Language Version) of the Bible which can be viewed and purchased at www.deafmissions.org .
As you can see God continues to do amazing things through this ministry. There are untold stories of how God has multiplied our efforts in ways that we may never hear about on this side of heaven, and yet those events are storing up
treasures in heavenly places. There are Deaf people in countries all over the world that have been reached this year with the gospel message of Jesus Christ through our direct and indirect ministry. None of this would be possible without
the constant prayer and financial support we receive on a monthly basis. To you, we give our most sincere thanks, and know that God will not forget your sacrifices for Him. We want to encourage you to come back often, especially to the
missionary pages, and pray for Deaf work world-wide. There is much work to be done in God’s Harvest of Deaf souls.
May God bless you for your obedience, and at the same time burden you with the reality that so many Deaf around the world have yet to hear about Jesus for the very first time. Thank you for your prayers this past year. Please, keep on praying, that we will have His wisdom in how to proceed in the future, and that He would receive the glory and honor for whatever is accomplished in His name.
We give God all the glory for allowing us to have the honor of working in His harvest again this year. We saw God do some mighty and wonderful things. We are expecting more things this year and I am....
Honored to be a worker in His Harvest,
Mrs. DeeAnn Harmon
