Deaf Christian Leadership – Linsay Darnall, Jr.
What does Deaf Christian Leadership mean? The difference between worldly and Christian leadership will be shown and you will learn how you can lead as a Christian. You can lead not only as a Christian, but as a Deaf Christian in the Deaf Community. The best example is Jesus Christ, who came to be a servant and to serve others, but called many to follow Him.
