Joni Eareckson Tada, Spiritual Mother

Before the lights in my own life went out, God prepared me for the darkness by introducing me to women whose faith gripped my own soul and helped stir up a hunger to know and love Jesus no matter what.  Joni Eareckson Tada is one of those women.

Over forty years ago I met her through her books and teaching videos. Then I had the privilege of being her prayer partner for a national women's conference and was able to at last speak with her face to face. While Joni may not remember me, I will always be grateful for the high honor of sitting at her feet, and feeling her love for Jesus spill over onto my head and into my soul. Joni still mothers me from afar. Joni recently participated in the national True Woman conference. Here is a back stage interview that once more captures Joni'a heart. For those who do not know Joni, as a result of a diving accident when she was a teenager, she is a quadraplegic. Her transparent message of faith and trust has not changed. If you need a spiritual mother, here is one you can trust.

I pray Joni's words will encourage you as they have me.
