SUMMARY:Moody Radio Wheelchair Collection
DESCRIPTION:Do you have a manual wheelchair that is no longer being used? Donate it to Joni and Friends on September 12th at one of the locations listed below. You can change the life of someone living with a disability! \nWorldwide millions of people are in need of a wheelchair. Of those in need\, 80% live in developing nations where wheelchairs are unavailable or unaffordable. As a result\, people living with disability are often isolated\, rejected\, and ignored by their community. You can help change this! \nEvery wheelchair donated to Joni and Friends is the opportunity for someone to experience the love and hope of Jesus Christ! Joni and Friends and Moody Radio invite you to donate used manual wheelchairs so they can be restored to like-new condition and delivered to people in need in a developing nation. Wheelchairs are custom fit to a recipient’s unique needs through our Wheels for the World® program\, and every wheelchair is delivered with the message of hope in Jesus along with a Bible in the recipient’s language. \nLocationsChattanooga\nSilverdale Baptist Annex Building\n2839 Silverdale Road\nChattanooga\, TN 37421 \nContacts: \n\nRichard and Tina Kimball – 423-605-6883\nWayne Smith – 423-667-1278\n\nCleveland Area\n9774 Trease Road\nWadsworth\, OH 44281 \nContact: David Kaufman\, 330-697-4438 \nGrand Rapids\nStandale Reformed Church\n202 Cummings Ave NW\nGrand Rapids\, MI 49534 \nTampa Area\nCalvary Church\n110 McMullen Booth Road\nClearwater\, FL 33759 \nChrist Community Presbyterian Church\n6565 Florida Avenue S\nLakeland\, FL 33813 \nChicago\nThe Compass Church-Naperville Campus\n1551 Hobson Rd\nNaperville\, IL 60540 \nIndianapolis\nCheck back soon for details on collection events in Indianapolis! \nMiami\nCheck back soon for details on collection events in the Miami area! \nIf you are not near one of the cities listed above\, any one of our 19 offices across the country would be happy to receive your wheelchair donation. Connect with a wheelchair collection volunteer near you! \nJoni and Friends is grateful to partner with Moody Radio.

SUMMARY:Bible Study for Caregivers at Cracker Barrel - Arizona (Phoenix)
DESCRIPTION:Joni and Friends Arizona\, in partnership with Cracker Barrel\, invites you to our Summer Bible Study for Caregivers\, an encouraging eight-week study designed especially for parents and caregivers of individuals living with disability. \nTogether we’ll spend 90 minutes each week between August 6 – September 24\, studying The Gospel in Hard Times\, a powerful resource from Joni and Friends that offers a biblical perspective on suffering\, hope\, and the presence of Christ in our deepest struggles. Through Scripture\, thoughtful discussion\, and authentic fellowship\, you’ll discover how the Gospel speaks into the challenges you face as a caregiver. \nEach session is guided by Joni Eareckson Tada’s rich biblical teaching on God’s faithfulness in suffering\, which will help you to experience God’s presence amid your own pain and the suffering of those you love. Whether you’re feeling weary\, searching for encouragement\, or longing to grow deeper in your faith\, this study will provide a safe place to connect with other caregivers\, strengthen your relationship with Christ\, and build a lasting foundation of hope in Jesus. \nCome enjoy eight weeks of meaningful fellowship\, biblical encouragement\, and life-giving community as we learn to find hope through hardship together. We look forward to growing alongside you this summer. \nFacilitated by: Kerri Jeter\, Area Director\, Joni and Friends Arizona; Amanda Tallman\, Key Community Leader\nRegistration required
