Three Angels Deaf Ministries, formerly known as Adventist Deaf Ministries, was founded in 1998 by a group of Deaf Adventist ministry leaders who desire to see ALL Deaf men, women, and children come to know and love Jesus Christ.
Our Mission
... to share the Three Angels' Messages to the Deaf.
Our focus is threefold. We focus on sharing the love of Jesus with deaf people and teaching them what the Bible says. We also seek to disciple deaf members and train them to be true disciples of Christ, equipping them to fulfill their role in spreading the Everlasting Gospel. Plus, we train those who hear about deaf ministry and culture so they can better reach deaf souls.

Who We Are
In 1997, after many years of providing services to Deaf members, Christian Record Services (CRS) made the difficult decision to close their Deaf Services department. Soon afterwards, the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists (NAD), invited Deaf and hearing members to an exploratory meeting to discuss ways to continue Deaf ministry. In 1998, in response to a proposal to continue the ministry under the formal church organization, NAD and Union Presidents decided that they no longer wished to do so. After this, a group of Deaf ministry leaders started this Deaf ministry. This is a donor-supported, non-profit organization that works cooperatively with the Seventh-day Adventist Church in leading the Deaf to Christ resulting in baptism into the Church and in nurturing Deaf Adventist members. Three Angels Deaf Ministries (3ADM) was officially recognized as a tax-exempt organization by the state of Nebraska in April, 1998.
Three Angels Deaf Ministries exists to lead and prepare the Deaf for the kingdom of God through various ministries in their own culture and language. 3ADM is the voice of the Deaf in the church. Church leaders seek counsel from 3ADM on how to effectively meet the needs of the Deaf. 3ADM assists the General Conference in preparing the quarterly Easy Reading Edition of the Adult Sabbath School Bible Study Guide. 3ADM's Director currently sits on the NAD's Deaf Ministry Committee and we work in close association with the North American Division on various projects. The General Conference and the North American Division are partnering with 3ADM in seeking ways to improve Deaf ministry - nurturing, training, and evangelizing.
"Three Angels Deaf Ministries is our frontline provider and premier resource center for the purpose of reaching Deaf people with the gospel. We depend on the services of Three Angels Deaf Ministries and consider them a partner in ministry."
Debra Brill, Vice President of the North American Division“Three Angels Deaf Ministries joins in the same mission of reaching unreached people with the Gospel as Adventist Mission-Global Mission and SEEDS Church Planting Conferences, with a specific focus of reaching an important group that is highly unreached—the deaf. Thank you, 3ADM Team, for partnering with us to take the Gospel to ALL the world!”
Marti Schneider, formerly with Global Mission3ADM is a tax-exempt, donor-supported, 501(c)(3) organization. The majority of our donations are from Deaf individuals, attesting to how they value 3ADM's work in spreading the Gospel to this under-served population. Donations to support this ministry are greatly appreciated and are tax-deductible in the USA.
