REVIVAL AMONG THE LEPERS, THE LOST, AND THE NEEDY!

Not only do they have to walk or crawl (such as the lame) a long distance to catch a bus to ride, but when they do arrive, they have to climb, crawl, or be carried up three stories of steps just to enter the church. Since December 2005, the church has started a second service for the lepers and those who are needy to hold all who are coming in the rented room, but there is still no room to sit. Many still have to sit on the floor, or stand, or wait on the steps below.

After each Sunday service the lepers and poor people eat a healthy meal together before they leave.

At these services there is lots of joy on the faces
of those who once had no hope in life.

Many who are coming with trials and sadness are leaving with joy, peace, and new strength. Each week, there are salvations, miraculous healings, and deliverances. For these people who are desperate and hungry for God, He is sending His revival to heal the broken hearts of those who have been rejected by all others in this world. Not only are their spiritual and emotional needs being met at this church, but their physical needs are also being provided for.

Many have not eaten for days due to severe poverty, and many with leprosy have the smell of rotten flesh that desperately needs attention. There are many needs. At each service the people are worshipping the Lord, baring their burdens before Him, they are sharing what God is doing in their lives, and the life-changing Word of God is being preached. After the worship service is finished, no one has to leave physically hungry, but a healthy, all-you-can-eat meal is served to each person.

Infected wounds are wrapped and treated before each leper leaves the service.

Their infected wounds are lovingly wrapped up and other medical needs are provided for. The quarters are very tight, and ICII needs a bigger and more convenient building as soon as possible to continue to meet these urgent needs.

One man with leprosy named Noah (his new name) came to church one Sunday morning and shared during testimony time, "I left my house due to family problems and I was planning to commit suicide after the service. But after hearing the message today, I was so touched and I felt as if the message was just for me. I have now decided to go back to my house because I have changed my mind".

Instead of leaving the service the way he came, in despair, he left with joy that day because he felt that God had spoken to him through the message. The Lord is now using him to reach out to other lepers in Christ's love.
