Every time I look at that pen I just assumed it was broken and something was wrong with it. This statement about our Ability Ministry pens is one that we hear more times than not. While this is indeed not anything that we could have planned, it just goes to prove what an awesome God […]
Just recently, the Ability Ministry Board of Directors met. Before the meeting, the Board had some time to relax and spend with the residents of our Riverwood location, having fun and worshiping.

Ryan shares a powerful story about what a church can communicate to visitors. Take a moment to watch this and think about your own church or facility. What is it saying? We Can Help! We are here to help you with these messages and we want to help! We offer a variety of resources, including […]

Welcome to part one of three on a series about what I’ve learned from being a newbie at running and how it relates to disability ministry. I mentioned in my last blog that I had already had one knee operation. My right knee had always been a problem for me all the way back to […]
