Caribbean Christian Centre for the Deaf
JAMAICA

 


The Caribbean Christian Centre for the Deaf operates three schools on the island of Jamaica. They have residential facilities that allow them to bring in deaf students from rural areas. The Caribbean Christian Centre for the Deaf teaches the gospel of Jesus Christ. Through this ministry, they teach the deaf a language, provide a basic education, train in vocational areas, and encourage new leaders.

Sometimes, people come to CCCD from other areas of the world. They come for short-term missions. They help do work at the school. Some of the jobs they do are: construction, repair, maintenance, ministry to the deaf people in surrounding areas, assist with vocational programs, and participate in outreach events.

A group from CCCD that uses sign language with music is called The Hands in Praise Team. They travel and perform songs to bring glory to God and tell their audiences about CCCD and the work that is done there. The Hands in Praise Team was organized in 1982. A typical presentation includes signing to taped music, sharing personal testimonies, and presenting short dramas.
