Subgrant Project Description: EnSeñas con Amor is our Puerto Rican Sign Language program, which is coordinated by Claudia Rivera and it strives to create and design spiritual formation experiences for the deaf community in Puerto Rico. These experiences will be focused on inclusivity, community, and spiritual nurturing, so the deaf community can feel welcomed and the hearing community can also be welcomed. By a series of videos and digital content, as well as community gatherings, EnSeñas con Amor will help become a more conscious and inclusive church.
