I'm a member of a Deaf Church. We're considered a 'mission church' because we are housed within another church - we use their building. However, we meet separately (have our own worship service & Sunday School classes, church council meetings etc). A couple of ladies & myself got together to discuss how we could better reach the Deaf members of our church - more of a 'hands on' type of study. We prayed & decided we would start the new year in January with the study of the Tabernacle, next month the Temple, then study of the cross bringing together the Tabernacle & the Temple showing them how they were pointing to Christ all along. Welll we studied the Tabernacle for about 2 - 3 years. We took it slow making sure everyone was understanding what the scriptures said. At first when we began our research was very difficult locating trustworthy information. Then I learned of Rose Publications. Was at that time your company began having "visuals", a book, wall charts & etc on the Tabernacle. Was truly a breath of fresh air! From our study a teacher at school I worked had several huge pieces of cardboard - I took them totally unaware how God was going to use them (I had these pieces for about 8 months). We prayed sharing with the Lord our desire was for those attending to experience the Tabernacle. It was NOT our intention to mock, make fun of or belittle the significance of His Tabernacle. Our sole purpose was them to experience Him in a different way, help them have a better 'picture' & a closer walk with Him. I measured our small worship area & it was just a little bit bigger than the Holy Place & the Holy of Holies. The lady that team taught the class with me agreed we needed to reenact the Tabernacle. We were able to convert the measurements from Old Testament to our system & used every cardboard piece to make the Shrewbread Table & the Altar of Incense. The items were spray painted gold. All the colors used in the Tabernacle were used. The pulpit was turned on its side & covered with gold wrapping paper. The Lamp we had to use candles. Each member re-enacted the Brazen Alter (mimed), wash in the Laver (sink), changing the bread & etc. Still to this day they talk about that experience. We told the members (we took them in groups) those who were waiting their turn were to be praying. When the group returned they were to pray for the next group going in. Truly truly was awesome experience! Thank you Rose Publishing for all your "visual aids"! You are soo appreciated! --vlcsigns
