Choir group
breaks the
silence...
A group of nearly 50 Icelan-
ders from Reykjavik visited the
base chapel last weekend to share
in an evening of ministry. The
message communicated, though,
was not heard so much by ears,
but felt in the spirits of those who
watched.
Many of the visitors who came
were deaf and mute. They
watched as first a choir group
from the Base performed a song
using sign language.
Then, a group of seven deaf
and yiute Icelanders held the
audience spellbound as they per-
formed a syncronized drama
routine to music they could not
hear playing over the sound sys-
tem.
The event was a repeat of a
performance that occurred a few
weeks ago in a Reykjavik church.
Anyone interested in being part
of the Sign Choir should call the
