Reformed World Journal
In recent years, accelerated by the work of organisations like Joni and Friends and the Lausanne Movement’s Disability Concerns Network, disability ministry has experienced robust growth worldwide. Singapore, a highly developed island state deeply connected with the global economy, has experienced similar growth in this area among its churches.
In this short article, we provide an overview of the Church in Singapore. We then discuss the current state of disability ministry in Singapore, both at the local congregational level and the broader level of the Protestant Church in Singapore as a whole. We conclude by discussing the future prospects of ministry among persons with disabilities in Singapore.
