ReSermon can not only broadcast the ASL translation and closed-captioning of your sermon to your overhead projector, but to the entire congregation through their smart phones, laptops, and tablets.
THINKING MISSIONALLY:
"We don't know of a deaf believer in our area who can sign our preaching and teaching."
SOLUTION: Hire a non-believer to translate! Sure, he'll initially struggle a bit to get his theological vocabulary in place, but think about this as an evangelistic outreach, and this translator is not only a vendor to the church, but a captive audience. Touche!
If you have a team of ASL (American Sign Language ) interpreters, wonderful. If you don't , ReSermon can help. This next point is key: Even if you don't have a single person in your congregation who needs an ASL interpreter, you still need an ASL interpreter. Only as recently as 150 years ago, many deaf and hard of hearing people were misdiagnosed as insane or mentally retarded and committed to asylums to whither away. Thankfully, much has changed, but deafness still breeds its own unique isolation. Many deaf children in the 19th and 20th centuries grew up "sounding deaf" and were bullied, teased and emotionally scarred for something they could not control. The deaf, therefore often retreat into their own subculture, where isolation can turn into community. If you care about the deaf and hard of hearing, then you have to take a page out of Field of Dreams: If you build it, they will come. If you provide live ASL to your sermons and then advertise this through the community, they will come.
Deafness is booming.
Baby Boomers massively changed each landscape they touched since 1945. Today, retiring boomers are finding that some of them "boomed" a little too heavy; the generation of The Beatles, Led Zepplin and KISS are managing tinnitus and the like. ReSermon helps your church reach not only the congenital dear and hard of hearing, but the multitudes of adults experiencing hearing loss, including those who don't know it yet, and those too self conscious to admit it.

A 2011 study by Rochester Institute of Technology found that maltreatment, including sexual abuse, is more than 25 percent higher among deaf and hard-of-hearing children than among hearing youths. The research also shows a direct correlation between childhood maltreatment and higher rates of negative cognition, depression and post-traumatic stress in adulthood.

How do we repurpose your sermon?
Peter is famished. After a long day of swimming, canoeing, and hiking, Luke and family will dine on burgers, lemonade, s'mores, and the Word of God, thanks to his youth pastor's daily blog post and social media pushes on Facebook and Twitter. A couple weeks ago, Pastor Jeff Bower preached on hungering and thirsting for God and then tapped ReSermon to repurpose his message into daily scheduled blog posts coupled with social media pushes on platforms like Facebook, Twitter and more.
"Repurposing my sermon allows me to stay in touch with my church, and especially the social media gurus in my youth group through the summer," Pastor Jeff says. "Youth group attendance is always spotty through the summer because families are taking vacations, going on mission trips, and so on. Sending out portions of my sermon is a way for everybody to keep in touch through the summer, and especially keep my kids motivated to stay in the Word."

If today's concept of marriage could be bottled up and traded on the NYSE, traders would be dumping it. Only the gospel can drive up that stock. |
