Mission Focus | Southeast Asia
Missionaries | Victor & Madeleine Hawthorne
God is opening doors for Victor and Madeline in their local Deaf community through soccer and outreach to university students. They work to plant Deaf churches and support the efforts of translators who are translating the Bible into the local sign language. Because many Deaf people often feel isolated, the Hawthornes are working to create a Deaf community center where the Deaf can gather and spend time together.
