Optasia Ministry, Christian Ministry Resources for the Blind

And

Optasia Ministry is a non-profit organization with the mission:

To provide Christian ministry resources

for those with visual disabilities and other disabilities

who can benefit from text in alternative format.

Our Vision

To provide resources that will help equip Christians with disabilities to serve in Christ's church.

We provide biblical study tools and other Christian ministry resources in a digital form that can be read by screen reading computer software, giving persons with visual disabilities access to materials that are not usable for them in print form. A list of available material is included on this web site or is available by contacting us.

The Optasia Bible versions we provide are designed for easy access with screen readers. We provide a good set of Biblical Commentaries, pastoral CareResources, Church Leadership books, and books on Prayer and Spirituality, as well as a selection of devotional reading by a variety of authors.

Because we are operating under the Chafee Amendment of the US copyright law we are able to provide copyrighted material free to those who qualify for our services. Those wishing to receive our material will be asked to affirm that they have a visual disability or other disability that necessitates the use of the alternative formatted documents we provide.

Optasia Ministry reserves the right to refuse services as it deems necessary.

What is Optasia?

"Optasia" is the Greek word for "vision, dream", suggesting an alternative form of seeing.

Optasia Forum

We have established Optasia Forum as a means of providing online encouragement and support for those with visual disabilities who are serving in various ministry positions in the church of Jesus Christ. We provide a list of technology and other resources that may be useful to those involved in ministry. You can add to this list of resources by contacting us. We include some reflections on physical, emotional and attitudinal barriers and invite your response. Let us know how the Optasia Forum can be of help to you.
