Maybe your church is not prepared to launch a full-time disability ministry at the moment. Maybe you are JUST exploring ways to enhance your ministry. Consider these practical methods to assist families with disabilities:
Provide Respite Nights: Arrange evenings at your church where parents can bring their children with disabilities for a safe and enjoyable time. This offers parents a valuable opportunity to take a break and rejuvenate. Remember, this assistance can also apply to families with adult members with disabilities.
Arrange Transportation Support: Assist individuals in reaching the church! Check if there are nearby church members who could provide rides or explore carpooling options. Additionally, consider connecting individuals with accessible public transportation services.
Bring the Church Experience to Them: Cultivate a sense of community by organizing home visits. You can engage in activities like watching an online church service together, playing games, or sharing a meal. This demonstrates that they are valued members of the church community.
There are countless other ways to show Christ's love and welcome those impacted by disability!
