Yesterday I signed up for a certification course, Beyond Suffering, provided by Joni and Friends International Disability Center. A number of my friends have taken this course and I have wanted to for several years. Since my life never slows down, now is as good a time as any. I am looking forward to the challenge!
Here is a brief description of the course provided by Joni and Friends,
Have you ever suffered physically, emotionally or spiritually and wondered why? Do you have family members or friends with disabilities and struggle to know what to say or how to act around them? People with disabilities are considered one of the world's largest under-represented groups. The church is largely unprepared for the burgeoning disabled population. One of the primary goals of the Beyond Suffering Course is to address this issue by preparing leaders in ministry, education, medicine and science to become involved in this life-changing ministry.
If you are interested in this online course, you can register at www.joniandfriends.org. Everything from Joni and Friends is high quality and will be a blessing to your life and ministry. I hope to see you in class :)
