“The 71-year-old ministry leader, who is quadriplegic and at risk, is in “bright spirits” and receiving antibodies treatment.” - CToday



“Tada emphasized the miraculous nature of this finding ‘given the aggressive nature of that reoccurring cancer.’” - Christian Headlines

“Joni Eareckson Tada’s half-century as a quadriplegic and a disabilities advocate is far more than a story of human endurance. It’s a Christ-exalting example of a courageous truth Christians don’t always embrace: ‘When I am weak, then I am strong’” WORLD



“47 years ago, I took a reckless dive into shallow water – it was a fateful dive which completely altered my life.”
