Sharing the Word of God with people with intellectual disabilities

Let's be frank, the Christian Church in general needs to do much more than pay lip service to ministry with people with disabilities. People with disabilities, whether physical or intellectual, also have faith and a spiritual life, they also long for a Christian community, and they also need Jesus.

This brief guide has been written to help all those who want to be part of this noble Christian ministry with people with intellectual disabilities. This guide is part of Amistad Ministry and is complemented by other materials available from them. It not only offers practical advice regarding organization and logistics, but also makes it clear that to serve in this ministry, it is not necessary to possess specialized degrees, but rather to have a big heart willing to serve Jesus Christ and to forge friendships with people with intellectual disabilities. We encourage you to use this guide and to also add your own ideas according to your own contexts.
