JOHN GRAHAM was born totally Deaf and grew up on a farm in Elmvale, Ontario, Canada.\u00a0 In his early life in the Deaf school, he was greatly influenced by the wrong peer group.\u00a0 He became very involved in stealing, drinking, and using drugs.\u00a0 Emptiness grew inside as John searched for something to truly satisfy him.\u00a0 Then he was totally transformed by God in 1979, and went to Bible College.<\/p><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>John and his wife Suzan, who also is Deaf, were married in 1984.\u00a0 Now John and Suzan have 3 adult children and live in Ontario, Canada.\u00a0 They pastor at New Life Deaf Church in Milton, Ontario.\u00a0 John loves to act, sing, and travel.\u00a0 As an evangelist, he has gone to more than 100 different countries all over the world.\u00a0 In 2006, he directed his very first film called \u201cThe Lost Hinge\u201d.\u00a0 He does many online vlogs now called \u201cdeafire\u201d.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>John and Suzan Graham came to Austin, TX in 2009 for the huge \u201cAustin Deaf Crusade\u201d.\u00a0 John was the main adult speaker and also did lots of special drama.\u00a0 Now he looks forward to come back to Austin for the
