Using Joseph's example (Old Testament)

There was a discussion regarding Joseph's experiences in the Old Testament. In Genesis 50:20, "But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive." (KJV) "As for you, it was in your mind to do me evil, but God has given a happy outcome, the salvation of numbers of people, as you see today." (Bible in Basic English) "As far as I am concerned, God turned into good what you meant for evil. He brought me to the high position I have today so I could save the lives of many people." (New Living Translation) I remember hearing a hearing person said: “I wish I was deaf so I can reach out to the deaf culture because they won’t listen to me.” In the area of Deaf and Hearing relationships in the church we often find conflicts. The Deaf and hearing worlds are like oil and water, they won't mix. There are very few, hearing people that are willing to become immersed into the deaf culture and hopefully be accepted by the deaf culture. Lack of understanding of another culture and the subsequent inability to tolerate that culture. In relation to evanglelism, we need deaf people to reach out to deaf people who are spiritually lost. As the Deaf proverb says, "The Deaf are the last to know, and the first to go." When hearing people enter a Deaf environment and can not adopt the Deaf Culture, then take over and require the Deaf to become "hearing culture". This will not work and hearing people have tried to convince deaf people communicate like hearing people. In doing this they destroyed the culture and often hindered the spreading of the Gospel. To be effective in reaching a deaf culture, there must be a deaf Christian. For a person to have success in ministry they need to have a clear focus. Christian relationships with in the Deaf community are highly valued. Many deaf people like me followed Joseph’s example. Its about the culture itself. Deaf and Hearing are two seperate culture. The deaf people is a culture just like another regular culture around the world. If you look at the Christian deaf history, there was a problem reaching out to them unless someone who is a Christian is deaf. If you noticed, Deaf Churches are slowly popping up everywhere, pastored by the deaf to the deaf congregation. Without deaf Christians, I mean, if they were healed, they could not minister the deaf unless they are deaf themselves. There are so many ministries out there that are similar to this. I have learned that most of them follow Joseph's example.
