Who We Are

We pursue Christ-centered transformation in the lives of those impacted by disability. Our vision is to utilize our programs to fulfill our Mission through proclaiming biblical truth and providing needed Resources.

We envision the transformation of the lives of people impacted by disability through the Body of Christ engaging the disabled population worldwide with the gospel of Jesus Christ while providing needed physical and developmental resources.

Through the advancement of TEF North America and Global programs we create services for both the Church and the families and individuals we serve. These resources will broaden the awareness of the cause of the disabled nationally and globally. Out of this awareness we pray that we will be used to mobilize people to be on mission to serve the disabled populations of the world.

The Elisha Foundation seeks to engage, equip, and empower the Body of Christ to proclaim the gospel to those impacted by disability.
