SILENZ TEAM HOW TO
David works with local churches to set up missions conferences and counsels churches as to how to improve upon their past conferences. He seeks new missionaries in the USA for these foreign fields where the needs are greatest and challenges many nationals to fulfill the Great Commission by also reaching out to the Deaf both in their own country and surrounding countries. He travels to foreign countries, surveying them for Deaf ministry. David speaks in missions conferences in churches and colleges, challenging young and old alike with the need of missions, and specifically with the need to reach the Deaf internationally. In 2004, David and Vicki joined Silent Word Ministries and opened up an international department with the goal of reaching more Deaf for Christ around the world. Along with their family, they served the Lord faithfully in Brazil for twenty-five years. Their two adult children, Rebekah and Joshua, also know Sign Language.ĭavid and Vicki Bennett were first appointed as missionaries to the country of Brazil in 1979. The Barrs’ burden is to start deaf ministries, strengthen existing deaf ministries, and create materials which can be used to teach deaf people the Good News of God’s Word. Jon Barr is able and qualified to continue the operations of SWM. She serves on the Executive Operating Board. Diane, his wife, serves as the bookkeeper, assisting in office operations. He produces SWM videos, DVDs, and the web page, and assists in all areas of the ministry. Jon brought his expertise in the areas of the Internet, videos, computers, Sign Language and Deaf ministries. In 2000, the Barrs merged their missionary work with SWM, and Jon Barr was appointed by Ted Camp to be the president. Palm Springs Drive Baptist is the Barr’s missionary sending church. Jon and Diane were married in 1981, and served at Palm Springs Drive Baptist Church in Altamonte Springs, Florida, as Pastor to the Deaf and Christian school teachers under Pastor Loyal Carlson. In 1976, Jon learned Sign Language from a missionary who came to his church in Florida, and later, became a certified interpreter. They are graduates of Bob Jones University. Jon and Diane Barr have been missionaries to deaf people since 1984. Today Silent Word Ministries is a world-wide ministry, reaching many deaf people each year with the Gospel.

Their goal has always been to “Tell the Deaf more about Jesus.” Since then the ministry has grown wonderfully. In 1994, the Lord led the Camps back to their roots in Trenton, Georgia, to continue Silent Word Ministries. In 1977, he was one of the first men to receive an honorary doctorate degree because of his literature and ministry to the deaf world. During that time, there was a high of over 1000 deaf people attending during the summer. Later, they moved their ministry to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and served for 20 years with the Bill Rice Ranch. At first, they printed a small newspaper, “The Silent Word,” as well as working with local deaf people.
