FAITH AND LIGHT SOUTH AFRICA
FAITH & LIGHT
An international ecumenical Christian Association with mentally disabled people and their families and friends, who want to meet together-not as “helpers” and “helped” but as friends who want to share each others lives.
FROM JEAN VANIER
The founder of Faith & Light “The important thing is to meet and listen to the man, the woman or child who has a mental disability to got to know him or her so that roal bonds can be created between us. In this way we come to know and love each other and NOBODY is left out. We try to carry each others burdens and encourage each other on our journey to GOD.”
