Beyond Suffering for the Next GenerationWe love young people at Joni and Friends and are grateful for the important roles they play in our ministry. From those volunteering as Short Term Missionaries for Family Retreats to those serving as Cause 4 Life interns, these passionate teens live out Jesus’ model of ministry to the marginalized, including those with disabilities! That’s why we’re so excited to announce that our new course, Beyond Suffering for the Next Generation, is now available! This youth edition is based on our groundbreaking course Beyond Suffering: A Christian View on Disability Ministry, which has been translated into several languages and is being taught at universities around the world. We at the Joni and Friends’ Christian Institute on Disability believe that lasting change happens when younger generations are equipped with a biblical foundation of God’s plan for suffering and disability. Beyond Suffering for the Next Generation will prepare young leaders for life-long service in education, medicine and science wherever God leads them. Students who complete the course will gain a deeper understanding of the disability community and the Church’s mandate to reach those who are the most vulnerable among us. They will also learn to identify and embrace their own brokenness in new ways. Please take a moment to watch a video and learn more about how to bring this course to your high school, home school group or youth ministry.
