Note: Flag next to a link shows what language the website is in. This is sometimes obvious by what country the link is for or the fact that the title is in English. If I feel it may be ambiguous, I have tried to clarify by using a flag. This is done so that people can read sites in the language of their choice. If a flag is followed by this icon: Sign Language icon, there is an animated text in that country's sign language or signs are illustrated. If a globe is followed by this icon, there is an animated text in International Gesture: globe: globe (international icon))Sign Language icon

Voice for the Deaf is a mission to Deaf Hispanics, founded by the Rev. Robert Bell, a Baptist minister and missionary, over 20 years ago. Both Deaf and hearing volunteers of VFD have worked side by side all over South America and the Caribbean to bring the good news of Jesus to Deaf people who have never had access to it before.
