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.
