"Listen with your eyes . . .
Sign Language is a method of presenting thoughts via pictures
made with one's hands."
People are adaptable. This trait is particularly useful when one
of the five senses is weakened and another becomes more acute to
compensate for the weakness. So the deaf, when they hear, hear with
their eyes. To communicate to the deaf, then, is to translate the
speech of the hearing world into the pictures of the seeing
world.
"It is an amazing truth that Dr. Cathy Rice has had more
influence on the ministry to the deaf, through her teaching of Sign
Language and getting others to learn and teach it, than anyone else
in the world. All around America, I have attended churches that
have someone interpreting sermons for the deaf and teaching a class
for the deaf. And in most cases, they learned the Sign Language at
the Bill Rice Ranch and were taught by Dr. Cathy. I am so glad she
has written this book. It is authoritative and important. God bless
it." ―the late Dr. John R. Rice, Sword of the Lord Ministries,
Murfreesboro, Tennessee
In 1953, the late Bill Rice, along with his wife, Cathy, founded
the Bill Rice Ranch in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, as a ministry to
deaf individuals. Since then, the Ranch has been the headquarters
for ministries reaching the deaf for Christ both in this country
and abroad.
The Ranch still maintains camp and conference grounds in
Tennessee and in Arizona where deaf young people can attend one of
several weeks of camp free of charge. Also, the sign language
school that Dr. Rice began continues to train people through
classes held at the Ranch each year. Well over eight hundred
churches have established deaf ministries as a result of training
received at the Ranch.
