MEDICAL AND FOOD OUTREACH |
|
IT TAKES ONLY $200 TO SPONSOR On Sunday, December 17th Independent Church in India started their first double service at the Dindigul church. Due to an overcrowded rented room filling the services each week, they felt to begin reaching out to those lepers and needy people that have been attending the church in an unique and caring way. The first service is a regular service for all who will come and the second service has been started for those mainly with leprosy. After the service the hungry are fed a good meal and their open wounds and sores are treated and bandaged by the ICII team. |
|
|
This is a very special time for those with leprosy because they are considered the poorest of the poor and the untouchables of the untouchables that no one in their society has any desire to have any fellowship with. The service started with a time of worship. During this time the Lord's annointing and presence fell among these special people and many began crying and pouring their hearts out to the Lord. |
|
|
It was a time to feed their spirits the Word of God as they listened as the message was preached. |
|
After the message, the ICII Gospel team served them all a good meal. They enjoyed their food as many ate to their stomachs were full and had a chance to fellowship with one another. After the meal, those with open sores were lovingly wrapped up by some of the church believers who have been studying in medical school and working in nursing. Before leaving, the lepers were prayed for and also had a chance to share their burdens with the Gospel team. Also new lepers that came to the service who did not receive a leprosy compassion pack recieved one of those as well. Before leaving, ICII provides each person some money to pay for their bus fare. Some of the lepers have been traveling over thirty miles by bus to come to church. Some even have to walk long distances to get on the bus.
