Tune in to hear Joni talk about those who need your help all over the world. Learn more about how you can get involved at an International Family Retreat at joniandfriends.org.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. Mariyka is a young adult from Ukraine, who was born with cerebral palsy – she grew up in a home with alcoholic parents and for many years struggled with feelings of loneliness. That is until she came to one of our International Family Retreats. There she heard about Jesus for the first time – and how he loves and cares for her. Mariyka’s life was turned around! And now? She attends an evangelical church and has a new family in Christ. She loves Romans 8 where it says that although the children of God suffer; we suffer with Christ – and with him, Marika is never alone. There are so many people like this woman with cerebral palsy; they live in Thailand, Guatemala, Ghana, Cuba. And they need your help. So, log on to joniandfriends.org and learn how you can join in on the ministry at our next International Family Retreat.
