FREED-HARDEMAN UNIVERSITY
HENDERSON,Tenn. — “Deaf people want
to talk about Jesus,” Frank Rushing
said at Freed-Hardeman’s recent
Bible Lectureship. “But,” he said, “no
one comes to talk to them.”
Rushing, minister to the deaf at
Nashville’s Central Church of Christ
for almost 40 years, recounted his
experiences as a deaf person.
Rushing has traveled extensively in
his attempt to take the Gospel to the
x z,
campus that Sunday, where she
expected to receive an award for a
Bison coloring contest.
“Little did she know that it was
actually a reveal party and that her
wish had been granted,” said Robert
Carter, Alissa’s father. “My daughter
was happier than I’ve ever seen her. I
would love to do it all again.”
Alissa’s wish was to have her own
fairy-themed treehouse. Natural
State Treehouses in Fayetteville
constructed the treehouse and
installed it at Alissa’s home.

ences and workshops in the United
States and participated in interna-
tional mission efforts in Europe,
Africa, Haiti and Australia. For
many years, he has also directed a
Christian camp for the deaf.
His travels also took him to the
Bible lands. He said he wanted to
see the place where Jesus healed
the deaf man as recounted in the
Gospel of Mark.
“I would love to have been in that
situation,” he said, “but God had
other plans for me.”
