YW General President: Online Resources for Teaching Youth in 2014

Like the thirsty sailors, some leaders and teachers of youth see nothing available for their needs, considering that the Come, Follow Me curriculum is the same for 2014 as it was for 2013.

Supporting Children with Invisible Special Needs at Church

I think it’s safe to say that most people want to be tolerant and loving towards people with disabilities. We wouldn’t hesitate to make accommodations for a person with physical limitations or to someone who is deaf or has a visual impairment.
