Make it possible for us to pay the expenses of sharing the story of Jesus with deaf people.  We continue to give thanks for the mission grant from the South Wisconsin District—LCMS.  This grant makes it possible for us to pay the health insurance for our pastors and their families.
Your gifts make it possible for us to continue to pay the salaries of Rev. Palmer and Rev. Reinke.  This is the only income that they receive.
We now have online giving.  Please visit our website to make an online financial gift.
If you wish to write a check; please make it payable to Lutheran Deaf Outreach and mail it to:

Currently our available resources are distributed to over 150 Deaf Leaders  — both nationally and internationally.  
 
At this time, we have sermons and Bible studies that are developed primarily for our Deaf Leaders to read and use with their local Deaf people. 
 
Often there are no resources available for Deaf Leaders to use, mostly because of vocabulary and language.  Our resources use easy to sign English and vocabulary most deaf people know and use.  We also include many picture and physical objects/examples to make the sermons and studies visual.
 
Please pray for Deaf Leaders in our area and around the world as they build relationships and share Jesus.
 

Our official name is World Lutheran Deaf Outreach!  Notice the world picture in our logo? Signing is a picture – in our name you will often see the name Lutheran Deaf Outreach in words – look for the “world” as a picture, not as an English word. 
 
God is opening new doors and exciting opportunities for us!  Read about the upcoming adventures of  Lutheran Deaf Outreach in this first newsletter.  We want to continue sharing God’s love and forgiveness to Deaf people and their families.   
 
Please pray for God to guide us and bless us as we join our congregations and outreach areas together under Lutheran Deaf Outreach . 
 
 

We broadcast our Worship services and Bible Studies online.  
Deaf people across the country join with us online every week.  Many do not have weekly Deaf worship services in their area.  Our online ASL worship and Bible studies are their only opportunity to see God’s Word. 
Broadcast live on Sundays at 10:30 am and Tuesdays at 11 am and 6 pm. The broadcasts are also saved so everyone to watch them at any time.
 
All times are Central Time Zone.
 
THERE IS NO SOUND — ASL only.

We are developing a curriculum to tie together the classes we have developed and continue to develop for Deaf people. We have had the basic classes with Deaf Catechism and Bible Questions.  Now we need to develop more advanced classes with more commentaries and doctrine classes designed in a format for our Deaf leaders. 
 
Our English language is always one of the biggest challenges for our deaf.  Signing has it’s own structure and placement. Plus many of the words we use in speaking are not directly signable.  We are using the ABCD’s to teach deaf people God’s Word in a format they can understand and share with other Deaf people.
 
Your support makes this work of developing these ABCD’s possible – Thank you!!
 

We are excited to announce the formation of World Lutheran Deaf Outreach.
We partner together with Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Delavan; Emmanuel Lutheran Church of the Deaf in West Allis, Our Savior Deaf Lutheran Church in Madison and Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church, Onalaska. 
In addition, we have many outreach stations  set up to serve deaf people around the Northern Illinois/Southern Wisconsin stateline area.
Rev. William “Bud” Palmer and Rev. John  Reinke continue to serve the deaf people in Southern Wisconsin/Northern Illinois stateline area.  Our goal continues to be sharing the Good News of Jesus love to deaf people. 
It is difficult for hearing people to really understand what it is like to be completely deaf.  English is a language of words; sign language is a language of pictures. 
The  materials used are specifically designed for the deaf to learn more about the love of Jesus.
