Today is National Intern Day and our founder, Joni Eareckson Tada, wants to give a shout out to the 2,067 amazing individuals who have come, and are currently going through, our Joni and Friends Internship Program. Their excitement for disability ministry is inspiring. They roll up their sleeves and learn what the Bible says about disabilities; they serve at Family Retreats, volunteer in local churches among kids with disabilities, work with our offices, and travel to countries around the world to serve the disability community. Joni and Friends is grateful to have a small part in equipping interns for a lifetime of effective outreach. #NationalInternDay #JoniAndFriends #JoniAndFriendsInterns
