Speaker

Sue Thomas

Captivating her audience and leaving them speechless is the trademark of Sue Thomas. Profoundly deaf since the age of 18 months, Sue spent years with therapists to develop her voice and in the process became an expert lip-reader in order to communicate with the hearing world around her. It was in 1985 that the Lord began to point her
on an amazing journey; one she would not have chosen as it would rest on her greatest weakness, the one which caused her many childhood scars through laughter and ridicule. That journey as a professional public speaker
came with her total surrender at the foot of the cross and of giving back to Him the gift of her voice. Today her dynamic spirit cannot be contained in her silent world and reaches out to break the sound barrier with widely diversified audiences worldwide. Her humor is contagious and her stories are compelling.

In 2002 her speaking platform went international with the release of the TV series, SUE THOMAS: FBEYE. Inspired by Sue’s unique job at the FBI headquarters in Washington, DC, doing undercover surveillance by lip-reading, the weekly drama helps to bring more awareness to the lives of those with physical challenges. With more than 2.5 million viewers in the United States, the popular series is now being watched in 54 nations around the world. Sue says, “I have had but one desire; to go forth to every nation and to stand before all generations, to proclaim the love and forgiveness of God, through His Son, Jesus Christ.” And with that exuberant twinkle in her eye, she adds, “And He can even use the FBI if He wants to!”
