Yours in Christ Jesus,

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.
