   A Place to Belong: Fresh Expressions with Special Needs Families with Sue Bessette

   What changes when we begin to see the image of God—and the gifts of God—in every person? Sue Bessette’s story is one of transformation. She openly shares that there was a time when she avoided people with disabilities. But God began changing her heart, eventually leading her into more than two decades of disability ministry and a habit of seeking out people with disabilities wherever she went. That’s how Sue met the young woman who invited her to Miracles of God, a Fresh Expression of church where people with special needs, families, caregivers, and friends participate, contribute, worship, and belong together. In this conversation, Sue shares what God has taught her—and continues to teach her—about belonging, giftedness, and recognizing His image in everyone. Listen to Sue’s story and discover what the community of Miracles of God has taught her.
