Agape Encounters in the Realm of Disability

Doctor Daniel Kyungu Tchikala, in this episode of “God on the Move,” highlights the universal need for social interaction and stresses the pivotal role of the global church in fostering intimate connections for agape (unconditional love) to flourish. This profound love has the potential to rejuvenate individuals globally, transcending geographical boundaries—from Southern California to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where disability presents formidable challenges.
