Blindness and vision impairment can be disorienting for congregational interaction, Christian education, and family life. The solutions sometimes fall under the category of Christian compassion, simply being willing to listen, visit, and befriend someone at church who has lost their vision. Church members who lose their eyesight may feel very alone and isolated. They may not know how to cope and or how they can thrive in their spiritual life. School age children who are visually impaired need Christian instruction even if they need to attend public schools that do not offer Bible history and instruction. Members of the Mission for the Visually Impaired are available to encourage and advise anyone who is struggling with vision loss. Representatives can help churches and schools adapt to serving and including people with vision loss in the life of the church and in Christian education.

Mission for the Visually Impaired provides Meditations devotions, Forward in Christ magazine, Northwestern Publishing House books, and others. Check out our online catalogs of resources for yourself or a loved one!

Because many blind people now use Internet readers and can listen to audiobooks on their devices, Mission for the Visually Impaired offers materials through an online library, the WELS Listen Library. This password protected website has materials that can be read, listened to online, or downloaded to a device. Mission for the Visually Impaired provides Listen Library access to those who need audio or braille to read Christian materials.
