Ted and Carlene Camp Founders, Directors

Ted and Carlene Camp have been working with deaf people since 1966.  Ted was pastoring a growing church when Alvin Spurgin, a deaf man, sang "More about Jesus would I know."  From that time Ted & Carlene began working with deaf people.  At first they printed a small newspaper, "The Silent Word," as well as working with local deaf people.  Later, they moved their ministry to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and served for 20 years with the Bill Rice Ranch.  During that time there was a high of over 1000 deaf people attending during the summer.  In 1994 the Camps moved Silent Word back to their home town, Trenton, Georgia.  Since then the ministry has grown wonderfully.   Today Silent Word Ministries is a world-wide ministry, reaching many deaf people each year with the Gospel.
