I'm a Retired Deaf Activist

I was born to a Deaf person in the middle of a hearing family who does not know sign language and grew up in different ways, neither in the Deaf world nor the hearing world. I studied at a Deaf school using a read-lips method and a mainstream school. So, I'm also a former mainstreamed school alumnus. What was the experience I have become a Deaf person? It was a thrilling journey. Living in an unfriendly country always be challenging. I sometimes was asked why was I born like that and why was I stuck at this family who doesn't know sign language.

Hal pertama adalah pengobatan dan terapi pendegaran. Dokter dan orangtua menginginkan kekurangan saya menjadi orang dengar. Jadi, saya menghabiskan masa kecil saya dengan pengobatan dan pergi ke rumah sakit. Saya hanya sedikit mendapatkan pendidikan dari ibu saya atau keluarga saya. Saya tidak tahu siapa mengajarkan saya seperti itu. Kehidpan pertamaku adalah sangat sedikit kata-kata yang saya didapatkan dalam hidup saya. Saya ...

I Am An Author Who You Known, I am Christian

" Take up the cross and follow me " Matthew 16: 24 If you are a loyal reader who has been reading since the first writing published in January 2020, I would like to announce that I have a fact that really needed to announce. Look at a title, that says I am Christian. Yep, I am Christian and am a follower of Christ. I have prepared some questions might you want to ask When was getting baptized? In December 2019 at GKI Gejayan, Yogyakarta. My baptized name is Malachi Raka. Where is the church usually you worship? English Worship, Yogyakarta. Why did you convert to Christianity? It’s a long story but that came to me who had been fighting for the truth and what makes me feel comfortable and to grow up who am myself. I converted because it’s my decision not because of a girlfriend, I do not have a girlfriend and am still single. After spending two years, I ended up finding Jesus Christ through coming to the church and started tearing up while listening to Christian songs. I really...
