Local Church Disability Fund

Does your church have a Disability Ministry? If not, why not? Jesus set the example for us with His own disability ministry. Think of all the times he ministered to the blind, the lame, the deaf, etc. If you do have a Disability Ministry, please share what your church is doing with us. (In the email, please put "Disability Ministry," so I'll know not to delete it by mistake!

If you do have a Disability Ministry, do you have a local church disability fund? If not, it is easier than you may think to build such a fund. Ours started when a little lady asked me if she could give $5.00 a week to start our own fund. From her $5.00, the fund grew faster than we imagined! We have given wheelchairs, diabetic shoes, bought eyeglasses and built a handicapped accessible bathroom! Just advertise your fund and tell your congregation to write something on the "for" line of their check, such as: "$5.00 for D.M. fund." I believe God will bless you in this effort and your fund and ministry will grow - both monetarily and spiritually!!!
