Daystar Donates to Wheels for the World

DALLAS - May 12, 2015 - PRLog -- Daystar Television Network has donated $10,000 to Wheels for the World, a ministry that works to provide free wheelchairs to people with disabilities all around the world.

Founded in 1994 by Joni Eareckson Tada, Wheels for the World has been working tirelessly to deliver wheelchairs and Bibles in developing countries across the globe. Their mission is to not only provide wheelchairs to people in need, but also change the hearts, minds and lives of the people they touch through the message and love of Christ.

Joni Eareckson Tada is also the founder and CEO of Joni and Friends International Disabilities Center, and is an international advocate for people with disabilities. A quadriplegic since a car accident when she was 17, Eareckson founded Joni and Friends out of the desire to provide Christ-centered programs to special-needs families, in addition to church training.

The donation was made live over the air by Marcus Lamb, President and CEO of Daystar Television Network, when Joni Eareckson Tada and her husband, Ken Tada, were recent guests on the network’s flagship program, Marcus & Joni.

“Joni Eareckson Tada has turned her test into a testimony all over the world ministering in a tangible way and opening doors to tell of God’s love and mercy,” says Marcus Lamb, President and CEO of Daystar Television Network. “Through the generosity of our partners, Daystar is donating $10,000 toward distributing wheelchairs to the needy and sharing the gospel.”
