Special Needs Zone

Ministry to kids with special needs is more than just accommodating these children who often struggle to integrate into the normal programming - is ministry to their parents as well. While we look for solutions to the challenges they provide us for a few hours, their parents wrestle all week with how to best care for their children, while at the same time wanting to guard their child's precious heart from any negative thoughts or conclusions they might make in response to how they are welcomed or loved by others.

When you eagerly welcome and enthusiastically love on these children, you not only make a difference in their lives, but you bring much needed blessing and encouragement to their parents. It is my prayer that you will become a HERO to these kids and their parents by applying the practical ideas in Invite Them In.
