Learn how you can help needy people locally or across the world with their spiritual needs at joniandfriends.org.
Hi, I'm Joni Eareckson Tada and the other day I met Sharon, a 73-year-old missionary. Many years ago, Sharon went to teach English to an obscure group of refugees from Burma who were living along the southwestern edge of Thailand. When she saw the desperate plight of these people [they were from the Karen tribe in Burma], she stayed, especially when she saw how many of the children suffered from disabilities. Now near 30 years later, Sharon is still ministering among these forgotten people. I asked her, “What kept you there all these years?” And she replied, “Nobody else was helping them; nobody was giving them the Gospel. And that’s when I discovered my calling.” Acts 1 tells us to be a witness for Christ near and far, and friend, there are needy people – especially with disabilities – living near you. So, learn how you can meet their spiritual needs at joniandfriends.org. Again, that’s joniandfriends.org.
