In these Lifeworlds, deaf people with multiple disabilities
(for example mental disabilities, paralysis, people in wheelchairs)
are in community with hearing people who help them.

LIFEWORLD IS WHAT?

Center of the lifeworlds is Jesus and his love, care and forgiveness.
He is very important.

If two people start fighting, are frustrated and don't like each other, Jesus tells them to calm down and try to get along with each other.
IF 2 PEOPLE FIGHT AND DO NOT LIKE EACH OTHER
JESUS SAYS:
CALM DOWN! GET ALONG WITH EACH OTHER!

If people in these Lifeworlds are weak, Jesus says it is important to help.
Many people have already experienced this help.
