The following is translated from the German publication -‘Call of the Watchman’. ‘For almost 20 years around the 5th of May organisations helping handicapped people stage various public activities across Germany highlighting their work. In law and the Bible all men are considered equal. In real life there are many hurdles to overcome. But everyone is made in God’s image – including the handicapped! In my work in the social sector and in my private life I hear statements like, ‘it would have been better had they not survived’ The ‘problem’ is not the handicap but rather how others deal with it. Handicapped people have rights; however they have had to fight for many years for an equal place in society. Today in Germany we use the word ‘inclusion’. Much has been achieved - but we still have a long way to go to overcome all the hurdles. Let us repent of negative thoughts and talk about handicapped people and those decisions in politics and medicine that deny them quality of life.’

Pray: for Germany's legal framework to support handicapped people effectively and promote their ‘inclusion’ (Gen.1:27)
