The One Thing Reach Australia

Adjusting churches for including people may not be as expensive as you might think, in fact it is not merely about the building. Disability comes with age, so we are all facing it at some point!



Louise Gosbell has spent a lot of time thinking about disability and ministry.


Making a building accessible - where it happens in the Bible
Why ministry to people with disabilities is so much more than just accessibility
What you need to know about recent overhauls to the discrimination act
What is a Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP) and why do churches need one?
Community as an important part of the life of people with disabilities
Social stories explain what is going to happen to help people prepare for church
A Community Audit is where the church asks questions about how helpful the community is for including people
Why your church might need an access audit to work out how physically accessible the building is

It's a simple online course to help you explain the gospel to people. Glen Scrivener talks about his course 3,2,1 which can be done online. You can do it with someone or pass on the link for someone to do it themselves.


Speak Life is a ministry to make Jesus known
The development of 3,2,1 has not been overnight but has been a project from 2011
This is course for anyone, but especially for visual learners
3: the trinity, 2: the 2 Adams of the world, 1: you are united with Adam or united with Jesus, the new Adam
While it is online the key is connecting people to churches and Christian relationships from the online community

Imagine an experiential gospel presentation where the food matches the talks and discussion. Taste And See is a 4 week course that has been developed by Paul Young, Wendy Potts, Rory Shiner and others.


There are lot of presentations out there, but we need to keep making more, its part of the importance of re-creating in our ministry areas
Food is an important part of life, the story of the Bible and our experience
It is a course that involves all sorts of gifts that people have
It is scalable and it is effective for people becoming Christian
