Houston church honors woman's devotion to deaf on her 100th birthday | LOCAL NEWS | KHOU.com | News for Houston, Texas
A Houston church is celebrating a member's long life devoted to reaching out to the deaf.
Sunday, the Woodhaven Baptist Deaf Church marked Lillian Beard's 100th birthday.
She started attending Houston's first Baptist church as a child and interpreted services for her parents who were both deaf.
As she grew older, Beard became more involved and started her own deaf ministry teaching thousands of deaf people around the world.
She continues to travel and teach to this day.
