Currently, in the United States , people with disabilities are virtually invisible in the interfaith community, even though people with disabilities constitute statistically 15% - 20% of our U.S. population. Families with children with special needs are especially hard hit in finding places to worship that offer acceptance and empathy for their situation. In our communities, 2 in 5 families have a child with a disability or special medical need. Divorce rate in marriages with a disabled child exceeds 4 out 5 marriages.
The P.U.R.E. Ministry Project is a nationwide effort to assist Christians in including, ministering to, and caring for disabled people and their families within the framework of their local church. A training seminar in P.U.R.E. respite outreach will be offered starting at 9AM Saturday, September 24, 2010 at Heritage Christian Church at 2130 Redwine Road in Fayetteville.
More information and registration for this event is available by calling P.U.R.E Ministries at 678-318-1929 or online at www.zachariahsway.com. Cost is $10.

Andy Andrews Speaks at Women of Faith Conference in Duluth
NY Times bestselling author Andy Andrews is the guest speaker at the Women of Faith conference
When: September 24-25, 2010
Where: Arena at the Gwinnett Center
The Women of Faith Conference is: Friday 10:00am-3:30pm & 7:00pm-10:00pm and Saturday 9:00am-5:00pm
Andy Andrews is scheduled to speak Friday only at 10:50 AM for 40 minutes, does a live Q & A at 2:20 PM for 30 minutes and then speaks again at 2:50 PM for 40 minutes.
Andy Andrews is an internationally known speaker and novelist whose works have sold millions of copies worldwide. He is author of The Traveler’s Gift, The Noticer, Return to Sawyerton Springs, The Butterfly Effect and The Heart Mender and many other creative works. His newest book is The Boy Who Changed the World, a children's book that teaches that everything you do matters.
Andy lived a relatively normal life until the age of nineteen, when both his parents died—and he found himself literally homeless, sleeping under a pier or in someone's garage. Then he asked the question that would ultimately affect millions of people. "Is life just a lottery ticket, or are there choices one can make to direct his future?"
Andy has spoken at the request of four different U.S. Presidents and works with people from all walks of life, including the military. He lives in Alabama, with his wife, Polly, and their two sons.
Other speakers at the two-day Women of Faith Conference include: Patsy Clairmont, Marilyn Meberg, Lisa Welchel, Anita Renfroe, and Nicole Johnson. Musical performers include Sandi Patty, Mandisa, and Nicole C. Mullen.
