In a quiet suburb of Tokyo, Japan, the Holy Bible is being translated into Japanese Sign Language.
For some 300,000 Japanese Deaf people, Japanese Bibles are written in a foreign language they have to study arduously to learn. Their first language - the language of their hearts - is Japanese Sign Language (JSL). JSL is a visual language more different from Japanese than English is from Greek or Hebrew. The JSL Bible is a desperate need if the Japanese Deaf are to be reached with God’s Word, and we cannot do it on our own. |
