“I got really sick; I was one year old. I had a temperature of 108 and almost died. I was born hearing and then lost my hearing. When I would go to church, I couldn't hear any of the music or understand anything they were teaching. We finally went to a church with sign language and I began to learn so much. The King James Bible was really hard for me to read and understand. Once I found a bible I could read/understand I learned so much! I began to believe in Jesus and it changed my life, ‘but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.’ John 20:31. God has a reason for me being deaf. Maybe it is to help others, to help save them. When I was twenty-one years old, I was reading the bible a lot! The more I learned, the more I changed. He died for my sins. I feel joy because He saved me! This joy inspires me. I communicate with God all day and all night. Jesus loves us. He died for us. We need to go to Him. My name is JoAnn and I surrender”
