Discussion:
People of all ages can become physically disabled. Generally they do not want pity, but to be treated with respect and dignity just like you want to be treated. Being physically challenged does not imply a person is stupid or hard of hearing (unless they actually are hard of hearing of course). Too often unthinking people come up to a person in a wheel chair and talk loud and slow, or yell at a blind person. Treat everyone normally unless their physical condition warrants some specific accommodation.
Physical challenges come in many varieties, some more obvious than others:
- Restricted mobility
- Limited vision to completely blind
- Limited hearing to completely deaf
- Missing limbs or other body parts
- Brain damage
- Debilitating disease
Suggested Activities:
- Build wheelchair accessible nature trails
- Participate in a mission trip to a place serving the physically challenged
- Volunteer to read books into electronic format
- Learn sign language (even a song or two) and perform it for a deaf group
- Contact your deaf ministries coordinator at your conference for possible projects
- Find a blind person and connect them to resources at Christian Record Services
- Assist and elderly person with limited mobility to do yard work, shopping, or other activities
Activities that include interacting directly with one or more physically challenged people will be more interesting and educational than doing something to help a group "out there".
