We’re more than half way through our trip here in Orlando, Florida and leaning hard on your prayers – in fact, I want you to meet two friends from Orlando who always pray for me whenever I travel. Paige, 18 years old, and her brother Tyson have a rare neuromuscular disorder that has made them paralyzed, deaf, ventilator-dependent and virtually blind. But, boy, do these two love to pray (I always email them my itinerary when I travel)! Last night their parents brought them to a Joni and Friends reception at our hotel and everyone was so inspired by their stories – they love Jesus! Psalm 10:17 says, “Oh God, you hear the cry of the afflicted” – that tells me the prayers of people with disabilities can have quite an audience with the Lord. Be praying… tonight I speak to 600 participants in the Kingdom Advisors conference!

Tyson, Paige and their family are such a witness to the glory of the God they serve. As one of their Deaf/Hard of Hearing teachers, I was constantly humbled by their faith, their positive outlook - despite their circumstances and their love for God and His Kingdom.

Dear Joni, what a grief there is in this world! I am convinced that the prayers of these prayer warriors have much impact. How encouraging that they know our Lord Jesus too despite so many handi- caps.
