Facebook

Hello I loves Facebook ! I have been on Facebook for almost 2 months and I loves it. I hope that more and more deaf people around the world will join Facebook soon. I believe that Facebook is one of the best ways to unite all deaf communities around the world into the deaf global village to defend our rights and freedoms.

I strongly recommend every deaf/ hard of hearing adult in the world to join Facebook sooner the better for us deaf communities !

Take care ,
Paul

Deaf event in Phoenix area

Yesterday (November 14, Saturday 2009) there was a deaf-related event called ," Deaf Encouragement Arizona Fellowship (D.E.A.F.) which is a some sort of social thing for deaf/HoH christians who are members of various churches such as Lutheran, United Methodist, Assemblies of God , Roman Catholic , and other churches across Arizona. Most of the time D.E.A.F. does its meeting in Greater Phoenix area. Its meeting occur every 3 months or 6 months at different host churches.

Yesterday D.E.A.F. was held at St. Matthew United Methodist church ( my home church ) 2540 W. Baseline Road in Mesa , Arizona ( Between Dobson Road & Loop 101 freeway) . The meeting was about the slide show presentation of the August 2009 Global Gathering of Deaf Methodists in Seoul, South Korea.

But a strange thing at D.E.A.F. yesterday was : a young hearing woman who is learning to sign ASL and her name is Raina , she was born and raised in Egypt , a foreign nation in the Middle East. Why strange thing about her ??? Her birthplace Egypt is mostly muslim nation , so she is most likely a moslem (follower of Islam) .

Raina attended to that D.E.A.F. event yesterday which is supposed to be a deaf christian social/religious event ! I was shocked about her fact that she was born and raised in an anti-christian nation --Egypt !

D.E.A.F. meets at Lighthouse church in Peoria, Arizona west of Phoenix in May 2010 next year.

Take care and God bless you.
