Greetings to you in Jesus name.

We praise God and thank him for Rev. Bud Palmer and Rev. Konkel who are doing wonderful job in training the deaf. The deaf are very eager to learn the Catechism. You are unique in conducting DIT training .Rev. Palmer and Konkel also unique in training the leaders in their own way of Presentation. Rev. Palmer taught about law and gospel with bible references equating Mount Sinai and mount Zion, Calvary. Konkel beautifully explained the story of Zachariah, Elizebeth and Virgin Mary, and Jesus birth explaining God can do all things.

Today they taught about 10 commandments and 1st part of creed. It was very exciting that they taught in a very different way so that every one was able to understand.

Though the theological ideas and applications are deep, I think we should keep this level to train the deaf with richness of Gods word, for effective ministry among their own community.

The LCMS pastors of the  deaf  and deaf pastors  are really  very good in ministering  to the deaf  with real  love , affection  and with Lutheran  theology with right  application in everyone’s life.

Tomorrow i.e. (Sunday) rev. Palmer is preaching in one of the hearing congregation and then to a big group of deaf children in Ambur Deaf School with DIT Students.

The whole day will be spent with the Ambur Deaf School Children training them too and permitting the DIT trainees for field work among the deaf students.

I will inform you the activities then and there to you.

Pray for this excellent Program.


Note: Rev. Konkels Missed Boxes arrived safely, the next day of their arrival to India. Thank God.

Yours in Christ
