Special Needs: the Forgotten Many with Dr. Stephen Hunsley, SOAR Director

It's a 24/7, 365 day a year responsibility.   Families with special needs children, youth, or adults understand the journey can often broaden a family's awareness, love, and appreciation for one another but it can also be physically and emotionally exhausting. Dr. Stephen Hunsley's story comes with the experience of not only having a son with autism but also losing that son after only five and a half years of life on this earth. Mark has gone on to be with the Lord but his life and legacy continue to live on serving over 650 special needs individuals and has helped launch a special needs ministry in over 150 churches. If you are in any way connected to special needs or you are exploring the possibility of beginning a special needs ministry in your church, you'll want to listen to this interview. Dr. Hunsley is the Director of SOAR and also serves on the pastoral team of Grace Church in Overland Park, Kansas. The statistics Doc shares are shocking and it is critically important that the church come alongside families that have special needs individuals and offer support.
