Start the conversation at your church
Meet Jason: Q&A Session
These sessions are a great first step for your church.
Why not line up Jason to visit your Bible Study or Fellowship groups during the week or organise an evening event?
In these sessions, the group will:
- Hear Jason's testimony and about his experience living with Cerebral Palsy
- Explore the idea of 'Imago Dei' – the gospel and disability
- Have Question and Answer time with Jason
Groups no greater than 15 people are recommended to allow for an interactive session where people feel comfortable to ask questions.
Sessions are around 1 - 1 ½ hours in length.
If you want more information, contact Jason at jforbes.disabilityadvocate.pss@gmail.com.

Dig deeper and get practical
Host a Luke14 Workshop
Once your congregation has had a chance to meet Jason, a great next step is hosting a Luke14 Workshop, facilitated by Jason.
With 5 great topics to choose from, these sessions allow you to delve into a particular aspect of disability in relation to ministry. Each workshop is 2 hours in length.
You may want to set aside a day to cover two topics as a church group, with a lunch break in between.
Workbooks are provided to each participant. The cost to attend the workshop is on a ‘Give what you can’ basis but with a guide of $20 pp.
If you want more information, contact Jason at jforbes.disabilityadvocate.pss@gmail.com.

"Jason has one of the most powerful messages I've ever heard. Because his Gospel message is an embodied message. He spoke about being made in the image of God, how that is our value - not in our various abilities. That was powerful enough. But when he explained how Christ is the perfect true image of God, and that my calling is exactly the same as his calling - to be like Christ in humility and love - I could see that's what he's doing with his life and his ministry. And that I'm being called to do the same.
I don't think I've cried in a Zoom-message from a preacher.
But that day I did."
