Joni with scholarship recipients Every school year, Azusa Pacific University awards scholarships to select students who have a heart to serve people with disabilities – this year, Sarah Koehler and Sarah Browning were recipients of the Joni Eareckson Tada Scholarship Award, and I couldn’t be more honored. The purpose of the scholarship is to identify, encourage, train, and prepare undergraduate social work and practical theology students called to disability ministry – they must demonstrate high academic standards, leadership skills, and be enrolled in the “Suffering:  Theological and Practical Perspectives on Disabilities” class at APU. These exceptional students are definitely demonstrating Romans 12:11, “Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.” So congratulations to Sarah K. and Sarah B. for pursuing careers that will truly bless special-needs families!
