Sharing Hope
Through Hardship

Sharing Hope Through Hardship

Nearly 1 billion people around the world live with disabilities.

Many of these individuals and their families live in poverty, pain, and despair.

Together we can change this.

We envision a world where every person with a disability finds hope, dignity, and their place in the body of Christ.

As a Luke 14 Friend, you join a community of our most faithful friends of the Joni and Friends ministry.

Become a Luke 14 Friend

“Go out quickly…and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame…so that my house will be full.”
Luke 14:21, 23
