Question by Sakurachan: Grumpy Blind Guy, do you know about Lutheran Blind Mission, Etc.?
A few days ago, I asked a question about disabled-homebound Christians wanting to serve their church & your response made me sad. I’m sorry the Church hasn’t included you like they should. The reason I asked the question is that I want to work on it. The church I go to has van service & ramp. I hope you can find one close to you. I’m sure a pastor would be happy to come to visit you too.

Blind Mission: http://www.blindmission.org/
Also online Christian radio shows (esp. Issues Etc.): http://www.kfuoam.org/ie_main.htm
