THE 6 MILLION
CHALLENGE
What if the silent struggles of those with disabilities were no longer left unheard?
What if all schools could provide robust special education, support, and services?
What if all congregations were equipped to wholeheartedly welcome their brothers and sisters with disabilities?
What if all people with disabilities could feel included, empowered and loved?
THEY CAN.
BUT IT ONLY HAPPENS Through your advocacy.
In the United States alone, there are roughly six million students with disabilities receiving special education services. There are an additional six million people with intellectual disabilities across the nation.
These people are vital to the well-being of our schools, congregations, and communities, but they’re also markedly more vulnerable. Without them, we lose the priceless glimpses of the image of God that they embody.
The 6 Million Challenge seeks to raise awareness, bolster solidarity, and build friendships with these groups of six million. It’s our goal to reach ten percent of the United States, a remnant or tithe of the population, to invest in the two percent of the population represented in these groups of six million.
Do your part. Spread the word and contribute $1 to raise awareness for all people with disabilities.

2. Give a Dollar
Your donation to the 6 Million Challenge will be used to increase awareness for the marginalized, equip advocates with tools for engaging those with disabilities in their local communities, subsidize Faith and Disability convocations in local congregations, and further the work of global frontier missions. Donations are tax-deductible.
WHERE DOES MY MONEY GO?
The dollar (or more) that you donate to the 6 Million Challenge will be used primarily to increase awareness for the marginalized and equip advocates with tools for engaging those with disabilities in their local communities.
Additional funds will be used to subsidize Faith and Disability convocations in local congregations.
Finally, ten percent of every dollar will be sent to global frontier missions work through Frontier Alliance International.
3. Effect Transformation
Do you have a passion for effecting real change in your community that goes beyond raising awareness and contributing financially? If so, we would like to partner with you.
This partnership could take any number of shapes, but may include hosting a Faith and Disability Convocation at your local congregation or working with us to create and share additional content designed to equip those invested in engaging disability in their communities.
