We Are Dedicated to Training Christian INTERPRETERS for Effective Deaf Ministries
Educating Christian Interpreters for Deaf Ministries
The International Institute of Deaf Services, Inc. (IIDS) offers skill development in Deaf leadership, American Sign Language (ASL), and faith-based training and technology. We host events and travel to provide workshops and seminars to those who need them. As a result, leaders, educators, sign language interpreters, and workers/teachers of deaf children and adults nationwide can make a dynamic impact on society.
Mission
It is the mission of IIDS to train leaders, educators, interpreters, and workers (both Deaf and hearing) with the d/Deaf to make disciples for Jesus Christ.
Vision
It is our vision to become the standard-setter in serving the Christian d/Deaf and interpreting communities. IIDS envisions becoming the “go-to” source for faith-based interpreters across the country, offering training and resources for Deaf leadership, Deaf empowerment, professional development, and interpreter mentorship.

Helping Faith-Based Interpreters
We serve as a source of information across the country to faith-based interpreters (FBI). Emails are received regularly from different ministries and organizations, which include news concerning local and national conferences, workshops, meetings, and more.
We disseminate information with the assistance of our social media marketing chair using our list-serve. On every front, the work of IIDS is challenging and changing lives through the power of Christ and a passionate heart for ministry.
The IIDS constantly receives prayer requests from across the country. These requests are prayed over and then disseminated to what we call “The Faith Family” (like-minded individuals) who covenant with us to reach the Throne of Grace.
