International Family Retreats

International Family Retreats provides a week-long experience of a disability-friendly community, where families receive respite care, spiritual nourishment, become connected to local churches, and experience some good old fashioned FUN.

Come join us and our in-country partners around the world influence communities with the gospel while bringing disability awareness and training. Witness the transforming power of the gospel when Hope in Christ becomes a reality for those who are too familiar with suffering. “Those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.” -Proverbs 11:25

Total Access

Total Access empowers the national church to be a change agent in society through training members to make schools, homes, hospitals, etc. accessible.

Our Joni and Friends outreach teams are continually confronted with the absence of accessibility in developing nations. Each international outreach reminds us how difficult it is for those with disabilities to get around.

With evangelism as the focus, each team will have Bibles and evangelical materials to hand out. Our in‐country partner churches will handle the evangelism and follow up.

Team MED

Our Team MED ministry addresses the healthcare needs of the international disability community. The goal is three-fold: to equip, empower, and evangelize. Small teams of U.S. medical professionals – doctors, dentists, optometrists, and rehabilitation specialists – volunteer their time to travel abroad and work alongside our international partners, equipping them to better serve people with disabilities in their local communities, while sharing the love of Christ.
