How is God using people with impairments on the mission field?
That’s a question most of us probably haven’t thought about, but
it’s the topic of today’s episode. Listen as host David Jacob talks
with Dave Deuel, Senior Research Fellow and Policy Advisor for Joni
and Friends and advocate for people with disabilities at the U.N.
They discuss the book Dr. Deuel co-edited
titled, Disability in Mission: The Church's Hidden
Treasure, and how mobilizing people with impairments just
might be something we are overlooking.
Here are some of the questions we considered:
1. What's your role at Joni and Friends and how did that
come about?
2. Can you help us understand the distinction between the
terms, "disability" and "impairments"?
3. Please share a couple of stories about how God is using
people with impairments on the missions field.
4. What about short-term trips? How have people with
impairments participated?
5. In your book, what are some of the common themes you
discovered about how God uses disability in missions?
6. What needs to shift in missions mobilization to make room
for those with impairments?
