Every Sunday, in a quiet corner of Apata Street, Shomolu, Lagos, hands rise…not in noise, but in meaning.
Here, a different worship occurs. No Spoken words. No songs. No microphones. Just hands moving, speaking, and praising.
At the Christian Mission for the Deaf Church, a home for people who may not hear sound but feel faith in ways words cannot describe.
Unlike any other churches, for hours on end, the only sounds are exclamations punctuated by the thunderous beat of drums to signal various sessions in the service.
GuardianTV spoke with the church executives to hear the story behind this unique place of worship.
In a world where silence often isolates, this community has turned it into a language of connection.
At the Christian Mission for the Deaf Church, faith doesn’t need sound. It is seen, felt, and shared in the rhythm of their hands.
