Missions Journey: Students – Deaf Peoples of Southeast Asia

Victor and Madeline Hawthorne serve among the Deaf Peoples of Southeast Asia. They serve in one particular country and make trips to several other countries to reach Deaf people with the gospel. Their two children are Zach and Elyse. Victor is Deaf and shares the gospel by Bible storying in sign language. The Hawthornes are involved in many ministries to reach the Deaf. This includes translating the Bible into the sign language of their host country, establishing a community center to provide for the educational, social, and spiritual needs of the Deaf, and using sports as a platform for the gospel for the Deaf in their country. Victor shares the parable of the talents from Matthew 25:14–30 in sign language and challenges students to know everything God has given us can be used for service to the kingdom.

This fully digital resource contains plans for four sessions, including links to the missions videos, missions project ideas, supplemental activities, prayer activities, and a leader devotion.

This material is designed for students in grades 7–12. WMU recommends adult leaders preview all lesson and video content before sharing it with their students.

If you have more than one group, you will need to order one subscription for every group, up to three groups. To help churches steward their resources, we’ve placed a cap of three on digital orders. So, if you have more than three leaders, you can purchase three packages and share the PDF with each of your leaders.

*When you place your order, you will receive an order confirmation via email that includes a link to download this curriculum directly to your computer.
