The National Head of The Church of Pentecost in Togo, Apostle Lare Banimpo, has created an avenue for members of the Church in Togo with hearing-impairment to learn sign language to aid in easy communication and studying the Bible.
This is part of the Church’s ‘Possessing The Nations’ agenda under Vision 2028 where the Ministry to Persons with Disabilities (MPWDs) was introduced to pay special attention to members with disabilities.
Apostle Banimpo introduced the group to Apostle Vincent Anane Denteh, the Director of the Men’s Ministry and Coordinator of the Chieftaincy Ministry, who was in Togo as a Guest Speaker for a three-day joint Conference for the Men’s Ministry and the Chieftaincy Ministry in Togo.
It was indicated that some of these hearing-impaired individuals have never set foot in the classroom, but through these training they can now read the Bible and also teach others.
An elder of the Church, who is also a hearing-impaired person, has been taking the students through the lessons.
With sign language, the students expressed their joy for the opportunity to learn and over the visit of Apostle Vincent Anane Denteh.
