About Deaf Ministries International
===================================

Deaf Ministries International is a Christian Mission to the deaf
started in Korea in 1979 by Neville and Lill Muir.

After moving to Korea following years of service in Japan Neville and
Lill commenced a small church for the deaf in the coastal city of
Inchon not far from Seoul. Together with 4 young deaf people the
first Immanuel Church for the deaf was begun in the basement of the
East Inchon Methodist Church. Over the next few years a further 13
churches in South Korea were formed, all of which today are served by
deaf pastors.

As time went on the work of the mission spread from Korea to the
Philippines, Taiwan, Japan, Myanmar, Thailand, Kenya, Uganda,
Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi where churches, schools, small
factories, hearing clinics, farm projects, dormitories and Christian
centres have been established to bring the message of Christ and aid
to deaf people. DMI Thailand is also involved in the production of
videos and teaching aids for deaf people.

Originally commenced under the umbrella and name of World
Opportunities International, Deaf Ministries International became an
independent mission to the deaf in 2000 and has been incorporated in
Australia the United States and Norway. Most of the churches formed
under DMI's administration are called Immanuel Churches for the Deaf.
