2. You Should NOT Welcome My Special Needs Child If…
You believe the Holy Spirit is only able to work in the hearts of some people, but not others.

3. Please do not pre-determine who is able to be reached by the Holy Spirit.

4. “But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.” – John 14:26

5. You Should NOT Welcome My Special Needs Child If…
You believe that Church is not a place for the “messy”.

6. You Should NOT Welcome My Special Needs Child If…
You do not recognize that “Special Needs” is a mission field.

7. Let me warn you, this is not a mission trip that you can just donate to or visit for one week and walk away. If your church should accept the mission to minister to special needs families like mine, it will be a continuous labor of love.

8. You Should NOT Welcome My Special Needs Child If…
You believe that God does not specially call every member of the Body of Christ to serve.

9. “Now you are the body of Christ and each one of you is a part of it
“Now you are the body of Christ and each one of you is a part of it.” 1 Corinthians 12:27

10. What If You DO Welcome My Special Needs Child To Your Church

11. Special needs ministry will be messy.
What If You DO Welcome My Special Needs Child To Your Church
Special needs ministry will be messy.

12. If the body of Christ does not become the hands and feet of Jesus to the special needs community, if we do not cultivate a true heart for the least of these, if we are not willing to pour ourselves out for those who are unable, then I truly fear we have lost sight of the purpose of the church.

13. All you need is Love, Safety, and Jesus.
What If You DO Welcome My Special Needs Child To Your Church
All you need is Love, Safety, and Jesus.

14. What If You DO Welcome My Special Needs Child To Your Church
You will fill a family.
