Gwen – Joni and Friends Intern

Ken, Gwen and Joni

Thirty-one-year-old Gwen Thayer first learned about our Joni and Friends internships while attending our Castaway Club Family Retreat in Minnesota — living on a farm, Gwen was anxious to come to Southern California and learn “the ropes” of disability ministry here at our International Disability Center. Her two-month internship is coming to a close and, oh, what a help she has been with our Christian Institute on Disability. Gwen has been battling various cancers ever since she was four years old (which explains her small frame); nevertheless, her courageous outlook on life and her indomitable faith in Christ are an inspiration to us all. We will miss you, Gwen!
