(Missourinet) A Missouri data portal shows that Missouri has an estimated 600-thousand residents who are deaf or hard of hearing.
It’s what Pastor Randy Dignan at Bible Baptist Church in Jefferson City calls an underserved population. He is a CODA, or child of deaf adults, who ministers to mid-Missouri’s deaf population.
He is also a certified licensed interpreter, and his church is offering residents the opportunity to learn American Sign Language fluently through private Facebook group classes.
If interested, reach out to his church through social media or their website.
