  • People of all abilities need a church where they can fully belong. Joni and Friends works to equip and mobilize churches to welcome and embrace people of all abilities by removing barriers and creating a church culture that sees all people as indispensable parts of the body of Christ, created in God’s image, and worthy of dignity and respect.
    “In fact some parts of the body that seem weakest and least important are actually the most necessary” (I Corinthians 12:22, NLT).

    As a mother of a child (now a man) with special needs, this video touches my heart. Thank you for showing it.

    This is so beautiful. Thank You God that what the devil meant for harm You intended for good, for the helping and saving of many.

    This type of ministry is vital in churches. We have friends whose special needs child was welcomed into such a program and it changed her life! She was "supposed to live to be 13-14 , she passed at 32. She would tell us, "I have a job!" because she was welcoming others into the program at their church and showing them the ropes. How beautiful and needed! 🙏❤️

    Im in the process of leaving a church because they feel my wheelchair gets in the way of other worshippers. It’s unbelievably sad and flys in the face of the gospel. I’m at the point of giving up on church at all. I’ve yet to find one that was accessible

      Oh, Rebekah! How our hearts go out to you hearing your experience and learning that you haven't felt welcome in your church. We pray the Lord would lead you to a house of worship that would be a perfect fit for you to flourish and use your gifts in a way that will display the glory of God. If you would like to share more of your story, or for encouragement or support, please feel free to reach out to our Response team at response@joniandfriends.org.

    Nope. Most Christian’s have been taught by the world too accept those who are pleasing to the eyes judging based on outward appearance. When Jesus told us too judge a person by their hearts fruits they bear
