Disability Awareness Services

Evangelising:
We have hosted many services in both Churches and local community groups, displaying the acceptance that is found in Christ for all people, including those with a disability. We have enjoyed seeing many touched by God and receive His free gift of salvation for their lives.

Educate:
We run seminars, educational sessions, skits & dramas and Church services to bring awareness to others of the value people with disabilities have in our communities. With 1 in 7 people in New Zealand with some form of disability, it is important that we are able to equip and educate people on how to overcome the barriers so often associated with a disability. We provide useful resources to assist people in areas such as communication, personal care, church services and “accessibility” issues, to name just a few (see our resource page for more details).

Luke 14 tells us to “bring in the Blind, the Lame, the poor....”
