Joni Eareckson Tada

Joni Eareckson Tada founded Joni and Friends in 1979 to help meet the spiritual and practical needs of disabled people and their families. Her own diving accident at age 17 had left Joni in a quadriplegic state, with minimal use of her hands. JAF now reaches around the world through resources and church training, as well as the distribution of wheelchairs and Bibles to those affected by disability. JAF is a partner of EFCA TouchGlobal.
