101.5 WORD·FM has teamed up with Joni Erickson Tada and the "Wheels for the World" ministry to supply wheelchairs to the handicapped and less fortunate around the world, while, at the same time, spreading to them the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Joni and Friends is a non-profit organization supported by friends like you who want to reach out to people affected by disability. We are grateful for those who support this work through generous gifts, both large and small. There is so much to be done. Every dollar you donate will help us ensure that the programs and services that we provide remain relevant and available to everyone.
Giving the Gift of Mobility with Christ's Love
The World Health Organization estimates that there is a need for 20-30 million wheelchairs around the world. In some of these countries the cost of a wheelchair can equal a year's wages, resulting in the impossibility for people affected by disability to ever receive one. Living in isolation, lacking simple mobility and cut off from life, many of the disabled are also tragically cut off from the local church. As a result, many have never heard the gospel message or experienced the love of Christ.
Wheels for the World aims to meet the physical and spiritual needs of the disabled around the world by providing wheelchairs and sharing the love of Jesus Christ. We also do this by connecting the disabled with the church through creating disabilty awareness and by educating and training the local churches in disability ministry.
Wheels for the World through the year 2005 has distributed over 35,000 wheelchairs to over 70 countries and have trained hundreds of ministry and community leaders, including people with disabilities. As a result many have placed their trust in Christ, are experiencing new life and purpose with their new mobility, and disability ministry is growing all over the world.
