“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”
Isaiah 43:19

The very first Joni’s House in San Salvador serves as a spiritual beacon of light to the lost and suffering in El Salvador and provides sustainable wholistic ministry to and with people living with disability in cooperation with local church, community and government partners.

This first Joni’s House is making Joni’s dream – and legacy – a reality, and it has been built on the prayers of the countless friends of Joni and Friends!

Joni’s House El Salvador is an international disability center designed to meet the spiritual, physical, social and economic needs of families living with disability. It’s a place where children and adults navigating disability find hope in Jesus, complete Christ-centered care, and a valued role in their community.

Jesus lived, worked and interacted with the members of his community. He spoke their language and understood their culture. He shared their way of life. And at Joni’s House El Salvador, we are following the very model that Jesus gave us when he walked this earth. Because Christ-centered care demonstrates the love of Jesus and each person’s worth and dignity in him while also providing medical and mobility support, essential resources, and continual spiritual encouragement.

At Joni’s House El Salvador, children and adults with disabilities get the ongoing physical therapy needed to live their best life, and family members receive education on proper hygiene, pressure sore prevention, and God’s view on disability. Wound care, oral hygiene, food and dignity kits are all part of the love poured out at Joni’s House El Salvador. Because addressing each of the critical needs impacting families living with disability opens their hearts to the Gospel!

Joni’s House El Salvador breaks the barriers of isolation and rejection, providing a welcoming place of belonging for the entire family, and showcasing a biblical perspective on the sanctity of human life for whole villages. We are teaching people the truth about disability and suffering, and God is changing hearts and minds as a result.

The love of Jesus is our motivation for every act of ministry at Joni’s House El Salvador. Jesus has compelled us to feed the body and the soul! And by making a way through this wilderness known as disability, disabled children and adults in El Salvador are being given a new vision and hope for the future! They are understanding that they, like us all, are God’s image-bearers.

You can be part of Joni’s House El Salvador through your generous gift today! Thank you for making Joni’s dream and legacy a reality, and for giving families impacted by disability a brighter future!
