  MISSION STATEMENT

Jesus healed the blind man in John 9 “That the work of God might be displayed in his life” (v.3 NIV). Not many are healed like that by God of blindness or other disabilities, but it is still just as true today that God desires that His gracious work might be displayed in the lives of the disabled. Yet, only a handful of organizations exist which are attempting in any sense to help the disabled and deal with the needs from a Christian perspective.

As a result, John 9 Ministries International, Inc. seeks to intentionally step into the gap and bring to bear spiritual answers and physical resources at the points of need through increasing the awareness and involvement of the local Christian community.

MISSION STATEMENT:

John 9 Ministries International, Inc. exists to extend the love of God to the disability community through communicating the Gospel of Jesus Christ and equipping the Body of Christ to glorify God through O.U.T.R.E.A.C.H. to persons with disabilities.

O.U.T.R.E.A.C.H.:

O To OPEN the heart and eyes of the Body of Christ to the strategic need to find and evangelize persons with disabilities, including their caregivers.
U To bring UNDERSTANDING that persons with disabilities are part of God’s perfect plan, purpose, and pleasure.
T To TEACH about the special social, physical, emotional, spiritual, and accessibility needs of persons within the disability community.
R To RECOGNIZE that persons with disabilities possess gifts, talents, and abilities granted by God that He intends to be developed to the fullest potential in order to serve the community and the Kingdom of God.
E To encourage the local church to ENFOLD persons with disabilities into all aspects of church fellowship, ministry, and community life.
A To bring awareness of the rapid emergence and availability of ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGIES.
C To CHAMPION for the betterment of all persons with disabilities and their caregivers.
H To HONOR God, Who created disabled people in His image and sent His Son to die for them.
