The Joni and Friends International Disability Center in Agoura Hills, California serves as the administrative hub for ministry programs around the world. With every wheelchair and Bible delivered, every retreat and respite event held, and every church mobilized to integrate and honor people with disabilities, Joni and Friends follows the call of Jesus found in Luke 14:

“Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.… Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full” (Luke 14:21, 23, NIV).

Samson guys are traveling-companions on a great spiritual adventure, not grim pilgrims on a death march to personal holiness. They challenge each other daily to believe the incredible news that God actually knows us, loves us, and has restored us to himself. As they follow Christ together, they find their lives progressively interrupted by righteousness, peace and joy.

The Great Commission Alliance is a non-denominational Christian ministry that is committed to multiplying Christ-like multipliers until the Great Commission is completed. They seek to accomplish this through intercession and prayer, guidance and consulting, next generation ministry, international partnerships, developing great tools, and equipping believers for effective ministry.

Each of their team members has been radically impacted by the concept of spiritual multiplication. They have seen people being won to Christ, discipled, and in turn repeating the process. Having seen actual examples of this in ministry, their team is committed to helping believers everywhere do the same. They want to help Christians everywhere become equipped to share their faith and make multiplying Christ-like multipliers.

Nate Herbst oversees team vision and direction for Great Commission Alliance. He joins us today for a discussion on the ministry.
