TRANSCRIPT
Hi, kids!Mack and I love learning other languages. It’s a really cool way to see
how different we are and how God knows all of our languages — all
7,000 of them!
Did you know that God also speaks sign languages? It’s true! There are
more than 400 different sign languages in the world, and most of them
still need Bible translation. Whether we speak with our mouths or with
our hands, God understands us. And he wants us to understand him, too.
Mack and I thought it would be fun for us to learn a little bit of one
sign language. Do you know the song “Jesus Loves Me”? It’s a good
one, and we’re going to learn the signs to go with it in American Sign
Language. And as we learn it, remember that Jesus doesn’t only love
you and me — he loves all of his children, and he wants them all to
know it in their own languages!
So are you ready? Let’s start signing!
