One of Karla’s favorite stories in the bible is found in Mark 2. Jesus was teaching in a house “so packed with visitors that there wasn’t room for a single person more, not even outside the door. And he preached the Word to them.Four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a stretcher.They couldn’t get to Jesus through the crowd, so they dug through the clay roof above his head and lowered the sick man on his stretcher, right down in front of Jesus” (Mark 2:2-4, TLB). Churches should have a vital ministry to those who are unable to get to Jesus without help. This workshop shares Karla’s vision of reaching the disabled who are in need of Christian love and outreach. Learn how to start a disability ministry in your church and why doing so is the heartbeat of God.
