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

One leprosy victim named John shared, "Because I have the leprosy wounds in my feet, my wife and my children have all forsaken me. All of my relatives and everyone has rejected me and I have been alone. In my heart I had lots of sadness and loneliness. But when I received Jesus into my heart he didn't forsake me. I now have lots of joy and happiness in my heart! Jesus has also healed my feet and now my family has received me again because my wounds have all been healed. Jesus has taken away all my problems and now I am very happy. Only Jesus has given me this joy and I give all glory to him'.

John sharing during the time of testimony.

Another leprosy victim named Phillip shared, "For ten years I have been forsaken by my family and I didn't have anyone to care for me. Every week I am coming to church here and now I feel I do have a family. I am now in Jesus's family! Jesus didn't forsake me, but I feel that Jesus is with me".

This woman with leprosy is weak from lack of nutrition and sickness. The meal and medical provision she receives at ICII's outreaches is the best she gets all week.m

The first service of each week is also pack full of people hungry for God. Some lepers come and
stay for both services.

Another man traveled from a far distance by bus to come to church because he heard that something good was happening at the ICII church. He had partial paralysis in his one side, which made his legs and arms not work well. Three years he had this problem and he went to other churches as well. He was very uncomfortable just to sit or stand. When he spoke, his speech was slurred. After the worship and sermon, he accepted the Lord when the altar call was given, and as the service went on, he began to feel better.
After the service, He told Pastor Britto that he was feeling better so he was prayed for again and Pastor Britto told him to do something that he could not do before. The man began to squat down and then stand back up. He did it several times, and he also began to speak better. He was very happy because he could not do these things before. He shared that Jesus was doing something in his life. All glory goes to Jesus for healing, and saving those who are lost!
