National

2010
We are striving to find ways to make this information more applicable in your unique ministry setting. So we ask you to register as part of a "Cohort" or group of people who will be led by two experts in the field of ministry with Deaf teenagers. You will discussion the information you've been presented as a group and share more deeply about your needs and insights.

Matthew Belwood - St. Rita School for the Deaf and YFC Deaf Teen Quest
