Harvest Deaf Ministries

Matthew 9:37

"Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few"

One Way to Heaven!

The Bible says there is only one way to Heaven. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6

Nobody else can save you. Trust Jesus today!

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Romans 10:9

1. Admit you are a sinner. (Romans 3:10)

2. Be willing to turn from sin (repent). (Acts 17:30)

3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you, was buried, and rose from the dead. (Romans 10:9-10)

4. Through prayer, invite Jesus into your life to become your personal Savior. (Romans 10:13)

What to Pray: Dear God, I am a sinner and need forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ shed His precious blood and died for my sin. I am willing to turn from sin. I now invite Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Savior.

Purpose

Harvest Deaf Bible College is designed to train deaf men and women for Christian ministries. The Bible curriculum is designed to ground the students with the knowledge needed to teach and/or preach the Word of God. All classes are taught, in sign language, by those experienced in deaf ministry. Practical training and experience outside the classroom is also an important part of the program to provide students an opportunity to practice what they have learned. Students will receive first hand experience while serving in a local church ministry, visiting foreign fields, traveling in teams, or helping in summer deaf camps.

Welcome to Harvest Deaf Bible College!

For many years, as International Deaf Representative of BIMI, Dr. Reggie Rempel had a vision for a school that would train deaf specifically to serve in the ministry. This vision became a reality in the spring of 1994, with the purchase of almost 14 acres of land in the North Georgia area. On September 8, 1994, BIMI Deaf Bible Institute started classes at Stanley Heights Baptist Church in East Ridge, Tennessee, with 12 students. The dormitories were located in Ringgold, GA. During the second year of school, classes were moved to the school property with the addition of a partially completed boys’ dormitory. During the third year, the name was changed to BIMI Deaf Bible College with the addition of the Ministerial Sign Language program for the hearing. During the year, an extension to the dining hall, offices and classrooms were completed in the boys’ dormitory, and a chapel in the barn extended the facilities. Since that time there has been a complete renovation of the barn, to include a library and more offices. Future plans include an additional dormitory building and a gym, which will assist in the expansion of the school facilities. Because of the encouragement of both BIMI (Baptist International Missions) and supporting pastors, the school name was changed to Harvest Deaf Bible College and obtained incorporation.
