Joni and Friends is a disability center and ministry that is dedicated to extending the love and message of Christ to people that have been affected by disability. Their objective is to provide assistance and guidance to the person with the disability, their family, or friends. The main object of this foundation is to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of this group of people. They also mean to communicate the Gospel and equip Christian churches around the world to evangelize and disciple people affected by disability. In doing this they present the word of Christ to anyone with a disability as well as their families through the different programs they offer, train and mentor people affected by disability to become involved in the church and their communities, and provide awareness for the church on disabilities so they may include disabled people into the fabric of worship, fellowship, and outreach.
