Show Notes
In this second part of the Triple Vision team’s exploration of attitudes of the Christian church towards people who are blind, deafblind and partially sighted, Peter and Karoline talk to Danny Leung of the Joy Beyond Vision community. Danny is a pastor located north of Toronto. He connects Asian and non-Asian communities from Toronto to Vancouver. Offering a support network as well as programs and services, Joy Beyond Vision seeks to eliminate the stigma of what it means to be blind in the Asian community.
"I just want to educate people, let people see another side of people with disabilities. And again, don’t look at my appearance, don’t look at my blindness, don’t look at me as somebody using a wheelchair. Just because they are using a wheelchair doesn’t mean that they are not capable. They are gifted in many ways."
