Dear Friend,
April is often when we notice the change of the seasons, but it also marks Autism Awareness Month, a moment for us to reflect on the beauty and diversity of minds within our community.
Check out our broadcasts below which explore how faith intersects with the experiences of individuals and families living with autism.
We’re excited to share that we’re moving offices within the next two months, thanks to the incredible support of our community. With our own property, we’ll be saving hundreds of thousands of rands annually, directly fuelling our ministry efforts. We’re almost there, but need your help to cross the finish line. Will you join us and help us complete the renovations and to make our new headquarters a reality?
