Media

A collection of short films for the global Deaf community that shares the Good News using Visual Vernacular (VV), a wordless storytelling art form.

70 million Deaf people,
350+ sign languages, one Gospel

Deaf people face serious challenges accessing Scripture—there are hundreds of sign languages around the world and only one has a fully completed Bible. Visual Vernacular helps overcome language barriers by communicating the Good News to the Deaf visually—without words.
