Joni & Friends Short Term Team 2024

Since 1979 Joni and Friends has committed to reaching and serving people with disabilities with practical help and the saving love of Jesus.

The Joni and Friends International Disability Center in Agoura Hills, California serves as the administrative hub for ministry programs around the world. With every wheelchair and Bible delivered, every retreat and respite event held, and every church mobilized to integrate and honor people with disabilities, Joni and Friends follows the call of Jesus found in Luke 14:

“Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.… Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full” (Luke 14:21, 23, NIV).

At Joni and Friends, we value each person as an image-bearer of God, worthy of dignity and respect! We create a rich, Christ-centered environment at each Family Retreat that is safe and accepting for every member of the family.

We have the opportunity to go and assist Joni & Friends in fulfilling their calling by working at their Family Retreat on the Oregon Coast, June 17th - 21st. Family Retreat is designed to serve families living with disability. The families get to enjoy a fun, Christ-centered camp environment that is safe and accepting for each member of the family. During this time of respite, they will build lasting memories and find renewed hope as they take part in Bible study, accessible activities, and opportunities to connect with other families who face similar challenges. Would you consider joining us to support Joni and Friends through prayer for a refreshing time at retreat with other families? Would you also consider joining in supporting the mission of Joni and friends by supporting our team financially to go on this trip?
