Our “WHY?”
Rising Above Ministries exists to provide special-needs families with support, encouragement, inspiration, and community. Our motivation to do this is based in our belief that God deeply loves all families and wants them to know that love in an authentic and meaningful way.
Here are a few stories of our Rising Above Families!

I spent most of this Father’s Day weekend in a funk. I should have seen it coming because it tends to affect me like this every year.
One of my biggest struggles as the dad of a son with profound special needs is jealousy. After 15 years, you would think I would be capable of rising above it, but it still strikes from time to time.
Dads came from nine states and enjoyed good food, laughter, fun, and rest. Base Camp is a safe place for dads to be real about the myriad of emotions and struggles they face.
I can remember back 15 years ago when we were expecting Jon Alex, and our friends and family were hosting baby showers for us.
