Matthew Espina has been involved with special needs ministry for over eight years as an AGUSM missionary associate to Special Touch. He has served as a life skills coach for people with disabilities for two years and is president of the Special Touch chapter in Lakeland, Florida. Matthew also pastors a special needs service at his home church, Harvest Assembly in Lakeland, and leads a Royal Rangers class for people with disabilities. His ministry follows graduating at Southeastern University in 2009 and then becoming a licensed minister with the Assemblies of God.

Given the large number of individuals in the nation with special needs, the likelihood of having a child with special needs visiting your church is a real possibility. The question, then, is are you prepared, and do you have a game plan for such a scenario?
