Baptist Disability Resources

While interfaith dialogue and sharing of resources is wonderful, when it comes right down to it many people are looking for disability resources that have already been tailored to their specific faith community. To that end, the largest section of the Faithability Religion and Disability Directory is the collection of faith group specific resources. Tonight I focused on identifying a few more Baptist disability resources. Here are a couple of resources that I found especially valuable:

• The Bethlehem Baptist Church Disability Ministry with a vision to "value and display the supremacy of God in disability and suffering." Their resources include an in-depth presentation on their disability ministry (PDF) and some specific tips on welcoming persons with different disabilities.
• An article titled Helping Deaf Hear the Gospel by Donnie Wiltshire of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina Special Ministries wherein he briefly describes their ministries for the Deaf, blind as well as persons with developmental disabilities.

There are a lots of other good resources that you can check out from the Baptist Disability Resources page. Also, please contact me if you know of any resources that I have missed.
