This week Key Ministry is conducting their second annual web disability summit: Inclusion Fusion.
Their theme this year is close to my heart: why church ministries should include people with disabilities.
All of their videos, live-chats and tweet chats are free; simply register and you will have access to videos from more than 30 different speakers.
I was particularly excited to see that Michael Beates, author of Disability and the Gospel, would be participating. I have read everything I could find that Dr. Beates has published, but had never heard him speak.
There are other friends who are participating, and some folks who are new to me.
I was happy to provide a short presentation on why churches should want families like mine, particularly directed at leaders.
Please pray that God would use this web summit to make much of his name, give courage to churches thinking about this issue, and encourage families like ours!
Hi John. I wondered if you might want to let your readers know of the pending threat against people with disabilities, and especially children, with the new UN Convention that President Obama wants to sign into law in the US. You can read more about it here, and how to take action to stop it. http://www.parentalrights.org/index.asp?Type=B_BASIC&SEC={5518816F-CE05-4294-8F90-C41AD67C94D2}
