This workshop is Steve’s testimony of the last 30 years as the father of a child with special needs. He shares what his family has learned as a result of Johnny’s disability and the special, rewarding and joyful role Johnny has played in their lives. Even in the difficult experiences of life, God has proven faithful. His grace sustained them and brought good out of their struggles and disappointments.
