The
Deaf Ministry of the church was born out
of a burden the Pastor and his wife Vicki
have carried since the birth of their
fourth child Joshua. Joshua was born with
profound deafness due to a syndrome that
he was affected with. Although it was long
after Joshuas birth that the deaf ministry
actually began, it was from that little
boy and his need to communicate that we
realized that we must work with the those
who cannot hear.
The work started in January of 2007 with a
class taught by Nathan McConnell from the
Bill Rice Ranch. About twenty of our
people took that one week class and
studied very hard. The Deaf Ministry is
done under the supervision and leadership
of Pastor Davis but it would

not
be what it is without the burden and hard
work of the Pastor's wife. She is known to
all those connected with Georgetown
Baptist Church as Ms. Vicki and she is the
driving force and ultimate organizer of
the Deaf Ministry.
At this time we have one deaf adult and
two deaf children in the church. We have
come to realize that deaf people only know
what someone takes the time to tell them,
and they must be reached with the gospel
message. The Deaf Ministry now signs all
three of our weekly services including the
singing and the preaching. The people of
the congregation have reached out to our
Deaf visitors and made them feel welcome.
This exceptance was probably made easier
by the years of getting to know the
Pastors son Joshua. We look forward to the
day that the deaf will be a larger part of
our church as a whole.
