JESUS: A Deaf Missions Film



The long-awaited, first feature film about Jesus in American Sign Language is finally here! The best part of it all is that it’s deaf led production and cast.

Buy tickets today to see JESUS: a Deaf Missions film in theaters starting June

20th! This incredible film brings Jesus to life in a way like never before. 

The story begins and ends with the upper room. What a unique approach! This retelling of the life of Jesus so beautifully ties in the roles of the disciples while showcasing the power of the salvation of early believers—ones who were there for the death and resurrection of Jesus.  

My favorite part of this movie was the woman at the well—hands down. The performance was incredible. Even though words are not spoken, the expressions of the actors draws you in and captivates you. 

Many different events from the life of Jesus are represented in this film. You will witness the leper who went to the priest after being healing by Jesus, Jesus' interaction with Nicodemus, the woman with the issue of blood (this one is a little graphic but when you have no speaking it is understandable why they were more visual than other presentations of Jesus' life), Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, Mary anointing Jesus' feet with her hair, Jesus' death and resurrection and more. 



My daughter, who is learning sign language, was watching the film and was able to pick up several signs. What a great homeschooling resource! She did make a point that the sign for Jesus was not the traditional sign. When you get to the end of the movie, you will understand why, as it is alluded to. 

Even though there is no talking, there are some sound effects. At first I wondered why they didn't sign and talk at the same time for those who are only partially deaf and can read lips until I realized the the actors were deaf themselves. It is an incredible production!

Original 13 Colonies Fact Cards (Free Printable)

These Thirteen Colonies Fact Cards were created for my kids as we studied early American history. What a pivotal time in our history! Puritans seeking religious freedom, adventurers setting out for a new land, and those in debt hoping for a fresh start—a new life. From the first colony in Virginia, until all thirteen stars on the first American flag were represented, these cards are a perfect review for your homeschoolers. Use them to drill the first thirteen colonies so your child can recite them with ease, and have them dictate the information on the cards to help them remember a small fact about each colony. Feel free to print these out and have your children write facts that they learn about each colony on the back. Go ahead and laminate them, too!    Simply right-click, save, and print to use this resource in your homeschool as you study about the original thirteen colonies in America. Use the facts for dictation, copy work, or discussion in your home. Disclaimer: All co...

The Pencil Grip Inc. {Review}

We have found what we have been looking for in The Pencil Grip Inc .'s 24 pack of Magic Stix Washable Markers . These markers are the perfect fit for a homeschooling family such as ours. I am thrilled to tell you about our experience with them! Normally, I do not have a favorable impression of markers for several reasons. For one, as a kid, I remember markers having such a strong smell that it would give me a headache. I know some kids enjoyed the scents but it certainly was not for me. And to be honest, if I had markers like that in my house today, my kids would probably stick them up their nose or something. Another reason I have a distaste for markers is the drying out factor. As a parent of many children this is super frustrating. I finally teach the older ones to put the caps back on when they are done using their markers but then a younger one comes along and just doesn't understand. This then leads to the undue frustration of your child sitting down to...
