NASHVILLE, August 22 /Christian Newswire/ -- Today the NRB Network announced a partnership with Silent Blessings Ministries, of Indianapolis, Indiana, Deaf Video Communications in Chicago and Deaf Missions in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The groups will bring "Dr. Wonder's Workshop" to over 16 million viewers Saturday's at 8:00am (ET) on the NRB Network. Marshall Lawrence Founder and Executive Director of Silent Blessings said that "Dr. Wonder's Workshop" has been designed from the ground up to be the most accessible children's educational TV series ever developed. "Not only will the show be voiced in English, but every line, every song, every story will also be signed." "Dr. Wonder's Workshop" also addresses issues of faith. Every program will include a Bible Story and an object lesson to show the children that God is just as relevant today as He ever was! The show will never be "preachy," but in tender loving ways Dr Wonder and his friends will unapologetically show the children that God knows them, He loves them, and they are precious to Him.
