What it is all about:

Jonah: Navigating a Life Interrupted – by Priscilla Shirer 

What do we do when God interrupts our lives? Many times, like Jonah, we run! In this 7-session Bible study, Priscilla redefines interruption and shows that interruption is actually God’s invitation to do something beyond our wildest dreams. When Jonah was willing to allow God to interrupt his life, the result was revival in an entire city.

What is “Story One”?

Story One is the Whole BIBLE in ONE BIG STORY. Scripture is not quoted in English but instead translated into ASL (America Sign Language) so the Deaf can understand the scripture and know the story in their “heart language”. Then the deaf can go out and share the same story to others. If you have never seen this … we encourage you to come and
have a taste of what “Story One” is all about.

This workshop is specifically geared for the deaf who wish to learn more about presenting the Bible in “Story One” format.
