Mercy Matters: Q&A with Missionary John Rug
Tell us something surprising about yourself.
I used to ride a unicycle. For a long time I wanted nothing to do with working with those having disabilities despite the fact that I was born blind.
In a perfect world, ______________.
I'd be out of a job because there'd be nobody to evangelize and nobody with disabilities or marginalized.
What is your passion?
My passion is to work with those with disabilities, preparing them spiritually, emotionally, and physically to become differently enabled.
