In Europe, 75 to 100 million people have a disability. This is more than 10% of the population. They have received legal recognition. Since the start of this century, several Christian organizations who work with people with disabilities have formed a network.
European Disability Network
Global Access Conference 2020
Join Joni Eareckson Tada, Nick Vujicic, and many more speakers from around the world for a unique online conference October 14-17 2020, live and on-demand. With content available in five languages, Global Access Conference 2020 will strengthen the body of Christ, mobilize the church to action, and connect regional and global leaders in disability ministry for partnership.
In John 9, Jesus says that disability is not a result of sin but an opportunity for God’s glory to be revealed. Unlike our culture, when it comes to disability, we should expect great things from God!
Well done Therese and EDN staff!
