In this episode of "God on the Move," Wuni Bitrus recounts how, after meeting a young Deaf girl in his church, he felt that God was calling him to take action. Within two weeks, he learned sign language and served as her translator in church. It was the first time she heard about Jesus outside of her Muslim school. Drawing on his background in Computer Science, he began teaching her computing, leading to an increasing interest from the Deaf community to learn alongside him. This journey culminated in the creation of the Deaf Technology Foundation, dedicated to empowering the deaf community through innovative technology solutions and training.

In this episode of "God on the Move," Barton Maino recounts his journey from being in full-time ministry to being a witness for God in the secular sphere in Papua New Guinea (PNG). After graduating from university, he dreamt of entering the working world and making it big. But God had different plans: for him to join the PNG Bible Translation Association. What Barton didn't know was that he would indeed be part of the marketplace, but this time to serve as a bridge between secular businesses and ministries. And his work bore fruit: in his new role within a local mining company, he successfully secured the largest donation ever received by the PNG Bible Translation Association from within the country.
