The National Association of Nouthetic Counselors (NANC) is sponsoring a biblical counseling training course for the DEAF. ASL stands for American Sign Language and it is one of the most prevalent languages spoken in our country today. I think it’s the third most spoken language in the U.S. behind English and Spanish (but don’t quote me on that- not sure I’m remembering that right).
So I appreciate NANC’s effort to reach out to a very large group that is underserved!
Here’s the NANC email that was sent to me:
