“The Abilities Ministries is a disability rights Christian Ministry that is leading the way in connecting the disabled and Christian Community together in order to mutually respect the rights and choices of people with disabilities to equally participate within the church.
The Abilities Ministries is supporting churches in becoming strategic and proactive in reaching out to the disabled community by starting up “Abilities Outreaches” for the purpose of equally inviting and including people with disabilities within the regular worship services of mainstream churches”.
Abilities Outreaches are modeled after Christ 3 fold
mandate and plan of inclusion in Luke 14:12-23
1. “Invite them” (people with disabilities) – Intentional Invitation
Vs. 13 “invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind”
2. “Bring them” (people with disabilities) – Strategic Invitation
Vs. 21 “bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame”
3. “Compel them” (people with disabilities) – Beneficial Invitation
Vs. 23 “compel them to come in, so that my house will be full”
