Sharing the Gospel through Sign Language

About this sermon

In this episode of Code Red, Julie Terry sits down with Jessie Fox, a missionary with Signs of Love, to discuss her calling to share the Gospel with deaf communities around the world. Jessie shares her journey from growing up in Colorado to serving overseas in Honduras and Argentina, where she works to bring the message of Christ to people who often have no access to Scripture, churches, or even formal language. They explore: Why the deaf are considered one of the largest unreached people groups in the world • How missionaries discover and connect with deaf communities • The power of discipleship and training deaf believers to reach others • The challenge of bringing Scripture to communities without formal sign language • Stories of transformation from the mission field This powerful conversation highlights how God is working in places many people never see—and how the Gospel is reaching communities that have been overlooked for generations. 00:00 – Introduction and welcome to Jessie Fox 00:38 – Jessie’s faith journey and coming to Christ 02:30 – Discovering sign language and a calling to the deaf community 04:30 – Realizing the global need for missions to unreached people groups 06:20 – Why the deaf are one of the largest unreached people groups 08:00 – How Jessie and her husband were called to overseas missions 09:45 – Moving to Honduras and beginning ministry with Signs of Love 12:00 – Finding deaf individuals through “treasure hunting” 13:50 – A powerful story of faith from a deaf woman in Argentina 18:40 – Training deaf believers to disciple other deaf people 21:00 – Creating Bible story resources in sign language 24:30 – The challenges of translating Scripture for the deaf 27:00 – Raising up local deaf leaders for long-term ministry 31:00 – Reaching the one: why individual discipleship matters 35:20 – A children’s book about the deaf community and final thoughts Download the Maximum Life+ app today and get instant access to hundreds of hours of sermons, Bible studies, books, and exclusive content from Dr. Zach Terry — all in one place.
