My Husband's Big Day.. Deaf Church at Cornerstone

Yesterday was a great day in many ways. The Deaf Church at Cornerstone in Swartz Creek, Michigan had their Open House.

We started with regular Deaf Sunday School and then Deaf Worship. The afternoon was filled with different games, food and fellowship. We were outside the whole day as it was such a lovely day. But...it was windy! The pavilion we were in was like a wind tunnel.

We ended the afternoon with Deaf Worship again. We had special music that was really touching. Kirstan sang in ASL the song, "I wish we've all been ready". Its about the rapture and the days afterwards. How one person got raptured as they were saved but the person next to them was left behind as they never said "YES" to Jesus. Let's ALL be ready! It is not God's purpose that ANYONE be left behind or sent to hell for not believing and accepting Jesus as their Savior.

Meet the Pastor

People came and went all day and it was great greeting new people. Its a new role for me as the Pastor's wife. My husband John is the pastor-to-be of this new church. He is in the process of being licensed and ordained. He does have a degree in Theology from Bethany Divinity College and currently working on his masters. After that, he will be known as Pastor John.

He really has the God given ability to teach and preach clearly about God's words in both English and ASL. His signing ability has leaped over the past year or so. He is a better signer than I am. He is a very humble man with a love for the Deaf and their need for salvation. His lessons are fascinating as he includes a lot of background information and deep study. I am very proud of him and its a joy and blessing to be used by the Lord for this purpose.

If you live in the Flint/Swartz Creek MI area and are Deaf or hearing with an interest in Deaf, we welcome you to join us every Sunday or Wednesday for Bible Study.

Please be with us in prayer for the future of the Deaf Church at Cornerstone!
