History of the Christian Mission for the Deaf |
|
In 1957 God led Dr. Andrew Foster to found Christian Mission for Deaf Africans (the name was changed to Christian Mission for the Deaf in 1977). The following is a brief time-line of the various countries where God used CMD to open schools, Sunday schools, camps and ministry centers in the continent of Africa. CMD's emphasis continues to be centered on
reaching the Deaf with the Gospel. Opening schools for the Deaf is a fundamental step
toward that goal. While some of the schools are still supported by CMD, it has been our
goal to open them and turn them over to others to operate (usually the national
government). This allows CMD to focus on evangelistic efforts.
