Deaf Ministries in Seattle

By Nohelani Jarnes, January 15, 2016

Puget Sound Adventist Deaf Ministries in Seattle, Wash., invited a few visitors to come and got a crowd when numbers swelled to 21 for deaf guest speaker Francisca Trexler on Oct. 24, 2015, at Volunteer Park Church in Seattle.

Trexler, who works with Three Angels Deaf Ministries, came from her home in Maryland to speak on topics such as tithing and the health message. One deaf attendee said, “Wow! I learned so many things I didn’t know before.” Deaf Ministries is planning on Trexler returning again in the fall of 2016.
