Dan & Carolyn Rehder and son, Felix – Members of HZGMC and missionaries with Wycliffe Bible Translators serving on the Global Sign Language Team (Columbia). Due to the challenges associated with the deaf learning to read spoken languages, reaching the deaf with the Gospel is a substantial challenge. Translating the Bible into sign language is a much-needed ministry as only 2% of the 70 million deaf worldwide have the scriptures in a language they clearly understand.
