Leprosy is a dreaded disease. Its’ affects are so horrible. People shun lepers so they are rejected. Rejection is in itself painful, but there are also the physical effects of deformity. It’s a hopeless situation for the leper in India without the love of Christ. The conditions they are forced to live in are atrocious. They are short of food, and make do with the most basic of living conditions. Global Nulife has a heart for these people and each year the team has contact with these precious souls. We give ongoing help to people with leprosy through the pastors we support in Chennai, Gobichettipalayam, Bangalore, Narsapur, and Kakinada. A promise we receive as we remember the poor is Proverbs 19:17. “He who is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will reward him for what he has done.” Please give any amount you can through the “Donate” page, and put “lepers” as your reference in order to designate your donation to this ministry.
