Devotional Guide: "Broken... Needs Fixed!" is the name of our most recent devotional. It includes 28 days of daily devotions that look at key bible passages that speak about the issue of "brokenness", "restoration", and the priority of ministry to those who are affected by disability. This devotional is a great way to understand what we believe. (PDF file)

Family Retreats: Come join us this summer at any of the 21 Joni & Friends Family Retreats held all over the country.
