ICII is pleased to announce that the leprosy church service is now being held on the Land. ICII provides transportation for the lepers to come. Over fifty lepers have been coming to the church.They are very thankful for the beautiful Land God has given them.
|
 |
|
The lepers are thanking the Lord for the
Promised Land He has given them.

|
|
The lepers come to worship the Lord with all their hearts.
|
|
Many of them are now waiting in anticipation for when the building of homes will begin so they can move here. They were very happy that ICII has started having a separate service for them so they could have more focus and more time spent praying for them. Many shared that they are planning to come each week to church.
|
After the service, each person receives an all-you-can-eat rice and vegetable meal which fills their empty stomachs, and basic medical treatment for their open wounds. The lepers also received sandals to protect their feet and blankets for the cool nights. This new service will be held each week on the Land for the leprosy victims. Starting a separate service for these lepers has made more room again at the Dindigul church. God's plan at this time was not to rent a bigger building but to start branch churches. .

Also, by separating these services, ICII can better provide the needs of these poorest of the poor people. As of now the leprosy service is held outside under a tent. As long as weather permits, we can hold the services like this, but we are praying that the Lord will provide a permanent church building on the Land, which we can also use as a dining and fellowship hall for social activities. Each week ICII is renting a small bus which is bringing these lepers by two trips to the land. This is costing the ministry $100 per week for their transportation. ICII is planning to start making payments on a small bus for the ministry to own, so this money will be used in a fruitful way.
|
A small bus will not only come in handy for the leprosy service each week, but can also be used to pick up children for ICII's children Bible camps, and other purposes. One hundred percent of every gift given for leprosy will go towards building homes, to feed and providing medical care, personal supplies, and transportation for those coming to church each week. Please prayerfully consider giving an extra gift for leprosy this month so this project can get started.

"And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed". Mark 1:40-42
