Joni and Friends’ Christian Fund for the Disabled provided a matching grant to the church in order to help them install an elevator (all while satisfying requirements of the Colorado State Historic Fund)! Pastor McConahy told us, “We have already seen the fruit of some elderly ladies coming to worship with us who live in public housing – they live just one block away and use electric scooters, so this elevator will get lots of use.” Joni and Friends is working hard to help churches like Mountain View create access not only in their buildings, but their church outreach programs, too. Visit our Church Relations department to find out how your congregation can better serve special needs families!

Dear Joni, what matters often in life,are usually the things which are not spectacular, because God sees the heart (1 Sam 16:7).And what you did for the least, you did it to Christ (see Mat 25:40). God only can estimate its real worth. But He is certainly pleased if we obey God in helping people who are in need how small it may look like in the eyes of the world.
