IIDS is one of the channels for fulfilling the great commission of God. By reaching the deaf and hearing communities in an educational setting, raising up bold leaders and teachers and sending out anointed laborers, the deaf will come to know Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior in the Age of Technology.
It is the mission of IIDS to train leaders and educators both deaf and hearing, interpreters and workers with the deaf to evangelize, obtain skill development in American Sign Language and Deaf Culture, technology and religious training. Leaders, educators, sign language interpreters, workers/teachers of deaf children and adults around the country will make a dynamic impact on society.
The ministry is incorporated and approved by the Internal Revenue Service as a nonprofit charity (5013c).
IIDS was founded by Paul William Ellis and incorporated on February 16, 1994.
