Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. Often when we deliver wheelchairs in developing nations, we will hold pastors conferences. Like we did recently in Mexico. Just why is it so important to us to reach pastors? Well, consider Fidel – a young law student who is blind. For years, the church he’d been attending in Mexico ignored him; didn’t involve him; they didn’t see him as valuable. But then, his pastor attended our conference where, together with others, he studied the words of Jesus in Luke 14 to go out, bring in the disabled; make them, compel them to come in. Suddenly, this pastor remembered Fidel, and from then on out, that young blind man was embraced by the church. Fidel has even joined the worship team. Hey, that’s a story from Mexico, but if you think your church could benefit from our training opportunities on disability and the church, then please visit us today at joniradio.org.
