Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada and I have such respect for the conference sites where we hold our Family Retreats. Like Twin Rocks Camp up in Oregon. One day at the retreat, Christina, our retreat director saw a mother pushing her son in a wheelchair through the packed gravel walkways. This dear mom was really struggling. And so, Christina decided to do something about it. By next morning, Twin Rocks Camp had purchased 50 sheets of plywood and laid them down as sidewalks for the wheelchairs. Now, the parents didn’t have to struggle pushing their kids around campus! That’s such a great Good Samaritan story. Because Christina didn’t just see someone in need and walk away; no, she and Twin Rocks went the extra mile to creatively solve a problem and help our special-needs families. And you can too when you serve at a Joni and Friends Family Retreat. Learn more at joniandfriends.org.
