Theological training: Union University’s EDGE students will receive training on the biblical view of disability and a theology of suffering through the Joni and Friends Beyond Suffering course remotely prior to leaving through pre-trip meetings and online coursework.
Practical application: As a capstone to the internship, students will serve people living with disability through a Joni and Friends International Family Retreat.
Leadership development: Through their Joni and Friends internship, Union University students will hone servant-leadership skills, serving as the hands and feet of Jesus, meeting tangible needs through therapeutic intervention and education, and sharing the Gospel with those they serve.
