This ministry is a coalition of ministry teams at Crossroads. Mental and physical disabilities, either congenital or acquired by illness or disease, will affect nearly one in three families. Add to that the disabling impact of accident injuries and increasing longevity with the affects of aging, and it is nearly certain we will all deal with disability at some time in our life. Abilities Enabled seeks to support individuals and families who face these realities.
