On Monday, November 12, 2012, the Faith Comes By Hearing (FCBH) ministry announced the release of the first ever Sign Language based bible application for the deaf. The FCBH is the world’s leading audio Bible ministry. According to the World Federation of the Deaf, there are about 70 million deaf people in the world today; FCBH estimates indicate less than two percent of them have been reached with the Gospel message. To date, over 690 audio recordings of the New Testament have been made available by FCBH, now they will be able to reach the 98 percent who have not been exposed to the Gospel.
"When I took on the mission to get God's Word to every person, I assumed He meant every person," said Jerry Jackson, founder and president of FCBH. "If the Deaf community worldwide were taken as a whole, they would be the fourth largest unreached people group in the world."
The free app, Deaf Bible.is, gives deaf users the ability to read the Scriptures as well as watch videos of people signing in American Sign Language (ASL). Video content for the app was provided by the following partners: Deaf Missions, DOOR (Deaf Opportunity OutReach) International and Bible Society.
"Because of this amazing digital technology, we now have a method to reach millions more of the Deaf population," said Jackson. "We are excited to have so many great partners lining up to be a part of this project and provide the content that will make this app a powerful outreach globally."
