Invisible Nation
We are in a historical moment that was prophesied in Micah 4:6-7.
“In that day declares the Lord, I will gather the lame i.e. the disabled and the outcasts.I will make them into a STRONG NATION! And the Lord will reign over them from now and forever.”
- God calls the disabled and outcasts HIS NATION. A nation with over 600 million people.
- God is calling up modern day abolisionists to free the captives, to be ministers of reconciliation and to bring the healing of Christ's love.
Our mission; we recruit, we train and we send both able-bodied people and people with disabilities into cross-cultural ministry to proclaim the hope of Christ to this nation that is held captive.
This is about using new world technology merged with old world relationship building in community development.We utilize new technologies to assist the disabled to become un-stuck from the sidelines of communities in the developing world. (This demonstrates redemptive creativity in rehabilitative technology).
Field teams: Using applied research, our field teams develop new bio-design products that work within the cultures and resources in each community.
Internet forums: linked globally, feature new designs, discussions and models of technologies that improve the quality of life.
Plugged in: Cross-cultural workers and local people with disabilities will get plugged into a world of new ways:
• To communicate around the world
• To be trained by Distance Based Learning over the internet.
• To give the gift of mobility.

Today is a Micah 4 moment in history. Jesus' call to action is now. The problem is vast and at times seems overwhelming. help them step out, step out Into the arms of Jesus who engineers our weakness into His strength and His hope that changes whole cultures and communities. What can one person do?
“We do this by loving Jesus … and serving Him hidden under the painful disguise of thepoorest of the poor…by recognizing them and giving to them the image and likeness of God.”
—M. Theresa
He calls us to comfort the afflicated and afflict the comfortable into action. the whole gospel, for the whole person is given the whole world.
Because we dare join him, let the bell of freedom ring. Let the shackles of shame and injustice fall.
Won't you join us by opening your heart to the heart cry of Jesus for these hurting people?
Our goal is to reach the people with disabilities with the gospel. To do this we will train and equip an army of dedicated servant-leaders. These new world missionaries will come from both the able-bodied and disabled communities. Through highly inclusive educational formats, we will release their passion. This pioneering training network includes: inclusive Discipleship Training Schools, intensive leadership internships, multi-disciplinary course work will also be geared to people with disabilities that it will be accessed through the internet.
Healing was a core element to the mission of Jesus. Not only are people with disabilities called into world mission but they are called to the ministry of healing. We all are broken yet Christ calls us into life with the Father as he experienced it on earth. We are all "wounded healers" who exhibit the life of Christ, if we choose to get better not bitter. God provides the grace of healing and the grace of acceptance. Yet he calls us to approach His throne boldly for the healing. Therefore we practice healing prayer, soaking prayer and are aligned with prayer movements worldwide. The goal is to give new understanding, strategies and tools to touch the untouched.
What our training looks like in global communities:
1. We conduct training schools (1 week to 5 month commitment): Our cross-cultural missionary training ranges from short conferences, seminars and Discipleship Training Schools (DTS).

Shackles and Chains
Those who need the Most, Receive the Least.
We have worked in different parts of the world to bring freedom to the poor, the disabled and the oppressed.
Their vulnarability makes them the ones caught in the trap of oppression, injustice and imprisoned under shackles and chains. There are 650 million people with disabilities around the world.
This group is the 3rd largest "nation" in the world with the highest levels of joblessness, poverty, abuse, addictions, suicide, and fear.
Many of those people are shackled with shame, forced out and locked away.
Their voices are silenced. Their faces are hidden.
Why do their lives matter? William Wilberforce, a British parliamentarian instrumental in overturning slavery,
once answered this question,"Because they
