Interview with Dr. Larry Evans
Q. What did impress you the most of this event?
Larry Evans: I think the enthusiasm of the deaf that developed when they came together. They need the fellowship. They are so excited, even though they do not sign the same language. There is a bond that they have. This bonding is a strength they need to face their own spiritual challenges. Spiritually we as a Church must provide these kinds of opportunities.

The International Congress for Deaf and Deaf-Blind People, which will take place in 2016, is the first of its kind in Seventh-day Adventist history. Deaf and Deaf-Blind from around the world are invited. Never before did we think of these persons as we do today.
Several congresses for Deaf and Deaf-blind people have been organized, including among others, those in Europe, South and North America, Brazil, etc., but never on the scale on which we wish to organize this one. This Congress for Deaf and Deaf-Blind People is marking its time and will be an historical event. It will mark an important date in the history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
