JAF Ministries backed by US author/singer Joni Eareckson Tada
AMERICAN author, singer and artist Joni Eareckson Tada is backing the UK branch
of her international outreach, JAF Ministries which was launched on
28th April.
Through The Roof, as the British outreach is known,
exists to promote greater integration of churches and people with
disabilities. "People with disabilities were a major focus of Jesus'
work," said newly appointed Through The Roof director Paul Dicken,
"yet churches are often woefully behind secular agencies in their
outreach, facilities to attitudes towards disabled people." Joni will
be hosting three major presentations in Belfast, London and Salisbury
in October to promote the ministry. She will be joined for an evening
of worship, teaching and evangelism by worship leader Chris
Bowater.
