Earn Your Master’s Degree in Intercultural Disability Ministry

Bethany Global University’s online M.A. In Intercultural Disabilities Ministry was created in partnership with Joni & Friends, and trains students to serve in the mission field by seeing the unseen. Governments in closed countries that restrict Christian ministries are open to receiving NGOs or workers who have training for assisting people with disabilities.

As people with disabilities are often neglected or inadequately served by over-taxed systems in impoverished countries, help for this community is welcomed. Most importantly, affirming the dignity of all God’s people reflects the heart of the Gospel.

Through This Christ-Centered Program, You’ll:

Understand and have practical tools to interact with people living with various impairments
Gain a biblical understanding of disabilities
Possess skills for effective advocacy in disability services
Identify social challenges that people living with disabilities face each day
Analyze a community’s understanding of disability and develop strategies to respond from a Christian perspective
Find and remove barriers that exclude people with disabilities
