Amazing Volunteers
We always seem to attract the most remarkable volunteers - people who love beyond themselves and beautifully reflect the heart of Jesus. More than 600 servants have journeyed with us over the years, each leaving a lasting mark on countless lives. We celebrate every one of them and are profoundly grateful. Perhaps there's a place for you in this story, too.
A little about our beginning...
Robin Hanna has devoted her life to loving and serving God's beloveds...
Robin founded Signs of Love in 1998 after witnessing the profound isolation experienced by millions of Deaf individuals around the world who lacked access to language, community,
education, and the hope found in Jesus. What began as a burden on her heart became a lifelong calling to serve alongside Deaf leaders in some of the world's most underserved communities.
Inspired by the words often attributed to St. Francis of Assisi—"Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible"—Robin has spent decades watching God accomplish what once seemed impossible. From a single ministry effort in Honduras to partnerships throughout Latin America, Africa, and beyond, Signs of Love now equips Deaf leaders to transform their own communities through the love of Christ.
Widowed in 2011 after the loss of her beloved husband, Jeff, Robin continues to serve with unwavering faith and determination. She remains deeply grateful for the privilege of loving and being loved by Deaf communities around the world and is committed to seeing every beloved know their God-given identity, purpose, and worth.
She'd love to hear from you, and dream with you in becoming more equipped warriors of The Light. Email her at r.hanna@signsoflove.org
