Sharing Blankets and Love with Lepers at India’s Leprosy Colony – 2023

Event Report:

A Mission of Compassion and Hope

In 2023, our ministry team visited a leprosy colony in India to extend God’s love to those often overlooked by society. Armed with blankets, prayers, and open hearts, we were privileged to serve this community, bringing warmth, comfort, and the assurance that they are loved and valued.

Understanding the Need

Leprosy continues to carry a significant stigma, leaving many affected individuals isolated and struggling to survive. Living in harsh conditions with limited resources, these men and women often feel abandoned by society. Our mission was to remind them that they are not forgotten and that God’s love reaches even the most marginalized.

What We Did

• Providing Blankets: Warm, high-quality blankets were distributed to each resident, offering relief from the cold and a tangible symbol of care and dignity.
• Sharing God’s Love: Through prayers, words of encouragement, and heartfelt interactions, we reminded them that they are cherished children of God.
• Building Relationships: Spending time with the residents allowed us to listen to their stories, share in their struggles, and create moments of genuine connection.

The Impact of the Visit

The smiles, tears, and gratitude we witnessed were profound. Many residents expressed their astonishment and joy at being visited and cared for by people they had never met. For them, the blankets were not just items of warmth—they were a reminder that they are seen, valued, and loved.

One resident shared, “Your visit is a blessing. We often feel forgotten, but today, we feel loved and remembered by God.”

Reflections from the Team

Our team left deeply moved by the resilience and gratitude of the residents. The experience reinforced our belief in the importance of serving those in need, not just with material aid but with the transformative power of love and compassion.

Gratitude and Next Steps

We are incredibly thankful for the support of our donors, whose generosity made this mission possible. As we look to the future, we are committed to continuing our work in leprosy colonies by:

• Providing ongoing aid such as clothing, food, and medical supplies.
• Partnering with local organizations to ensure sustainable support.
• Sharing the gospel and offering spiritual encouragement to bring lasting hope.
