Conference Pastor

Born Deaf, Brandon grew up in a world where he had access to enough sound that he enjoyed listening to music but would sign along with American Sign Language. At an early age, he was introduced to Jesus, but it wasn’t until middle school that he understood that Jesus wanted to be his personal Savior and he made Jesus his Lord. At the age of 15, Brandon first learned about the disheartening statistics in the Deaf community, and to this day it breaks his heart that over 98% of Deaf people still do not know Christ and haven’t been afforded the opportunity to become his disciples. Brandon desires to see the 98% statistic eradicated in his lifetime through Gospel movements among Deaf people here, near, and far. As a young millennial himself, he founded Deaf Millennial Project to encourage his generation and the generations to come of Deaf disciples to radically follow, obey, and practice the life of Christ. Deaf Millennial Project is committed to developing digital biblical content, events, and resources in American Sign Language that will impact the body of Christ and expose the message of the Gospel to Deaf disciples. Deaf Millennial Project was the first Deaf organization to host a virtual conference during the pandemic shutdown, and since then they have seen 75 + Deaf men and women participate in the Zume DMM Training. Brandon believes that to see gospel movements among Deaf people groups, we must see a discipleship movement happen. He has joined Converge International as a group of disciples and churches to strategically train transformational Deaf leaders to become disciple makers.

Conference Worship Leader

Micah is Deaf and grew up in the Dallas Fort Worth area and served at a local Deaf Church as a Youth Leader for 5 years. He is passionate about reaching the next generation of Deaf kids to train them to become future leaders, teaching them about the good news of Jesus and discipling them to become followers of Jesus. He has traveled around the U.S to different Deaf Men's Conferences, retreats, and Deaf Youth Camp leading worship. God called Micah to step out of his comfort zone after 24 years to move to Austin, Texas to go on Young Life Staff and reach the kids in the Austin Deaf Community who have not yet heard the Good News of Jesus. My favorite things to do are playing video games, reading books, and listening to music.
