Dear Ellen,
We use the New Century Bible as our text. It was originally translated for persons who are deaf. Therefore, it does not have many of the idioms that our members don’t understand and can’t grasp.
We also use LIFEWAY curriculum the Access Series from the Southern Baptist Convention. Their website is http://www.lifeway.com/special needs.
Because I think this information may help others, I’ll also put it in a blog. Thanks for writing. You are about to embark on a greatly rewarding spirtual adventure. We will pray for you. Please let us know how yo and your friend do.

Thanks so much for your comment on my blog. While I cannot possible understand your great need, I must explain that our ministry is a very small mission work. We work with people who are mentally retarded. We also have no money. I will be happy to pray for you. I am posting your letter. I am sure that the people who come to this blog will also pray for you. However, we are not able to give you any money. Sorry.

Hey,
I was hoping that you could write an article about my book, and/or add me to your Links section. My blog is all about children with special needs, and how to help them learn how to become adults.

Mary, I added your link and I posted one of your entries in to my blog. I think the best way to get readers interested is to introduce them to the person through their writing.
I would love for you to link to us as well. If you see something that you find worth repeating, please feel free to us it, as long as you give specialgathering the credit.
Great to link with you. Where are you from?

My Dear earnest Director,
Praise the Lord Jesus at all times, giving Him all the Glory.
I am an Evangelist and in full time ministry saving lost souls at any cost through the Sound Bible Doctrine. I have been anointed by the Holy Spirit for teaching and preaching ministry. I have three mission stations looking after their Spiritual needs as an Evangelist. I am 37 years old, married and have two Children. I conduct prayer services, Spiritual retreats, Marriage counseling, House visiting, prepare Hindus and Muslims for adult Baptisms in our Holy Church.
If we are able to partnership together you can help my ministry to grow and harvest lost souls for Christ. In these last days “Keeping the blessed Hope in Mind.” Titus 2:13.
Together we can prepare the Bride to meet Jesus at His Second coming. For this is God’s assignment for us, we must do what must be done. Faith in Jesus Christ and obedience to His word will help us to see the invisible, believe the incredible and receive the impossible. We wish you a Happy Christmas and bright and too peaceful New Year 2009.
May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit been with you. I am waiting your urgent reply. Please, send some resource material books for my ministry needs feel free to do so.
Yours winning lost souls for the Church,

I have a sister-in-law that resides in Tallahassee. She is just a bit mentally challenged. She has worked in the past. She is not able to drive. I am looking for a church like yours that she can attend in the Tallahassee area or any other groups that you may know of for her to attend. Any information that you have is most appreciated. I look forward to hearing from you. I thank you for your time. It seems as though you are doing wonderful things. God Bless.

Thanks for your comment and for visiting our site. I wish that I knew of a ministry within the Tallahassee area but I don’t. I will inquire regarding your sister-in-law’s need. I will get back with you later. Thanks again.

I went on the net to try to find a ministry but there seemed to be nothing in the Tallahassee area. I went to First Baptist Church of Tallahassee website. Again, nothing. Then I called First Baptist to inquire. They knew of no church that even has a specialized ministry Sunday school class.
Again, we see that our population could classify as an unreached peoples group.

On behalf of myself and my sister-in-law, I thank you for your time and assistance. Good luck to you with your future endeavors.

You are welcome. I only wish I could have been of more help to you.
