The Promised Land For Lepers!
This special edition of Finding Lost Souls is written to keep you all up to date on how the leprosy community project is going. We have decided to call it a community or residence instead of a colony, because this will be a place where these hurting people come, not to be isolated from society, but so they can live the rest of their lives being accepted and as comfortable as possible. The exciting news is that the land to build the leprosy community has been purchased and is paid in full.The cost came to $39,000 total, including registration fees.The land is majestic, with a scenic view, a beautiful eleven-acre tract nicknamed "the Promised Land".
 |
|
This promised land is paradise for those with leprosy. These flowers are growing on the land and can be sold for profit to help to provide for those living here.
|
|
This property has good water, and many fruits and vegetables can be grown to help self-support this project. Land price had been increasing rapidly here in India, so the price was low for land as nice as this.

The interesting reason the price was lower is that according to Hindu superstition of astrology, the boundaries are shaped wrong or oriented wrong somehow. The Hindus place enormous trust in astrology, so no Hindu farmer would buy this property! God turned their superstition into a blessing for the lepers! Every dollar that was donated by loving sponsors for leprosy was put to good use so that the name of Jesus is glorified!

|
Lots of fruits and vegetables will be grown to help
provide needs of the lepers.

Muthu is very happy to come to his new home.
He was so poor he didn't even own a shirt.

Leprosy Victims Are Now Living on the Land! - The great news is that there is a small house with three separate rooms already on the property. Independent Church in India (ICII) is very pleased to announce that three lepers are now living on the Promised Land in this small house. Each room in the small house now has a new bed, a chair, and personal supplies that are given to them at their arrival. Each day they will receive three healthy, balanced meals with snacks.
|
Medical care will also be provided. Out of all those who are suffering it was a very hard choice who to take first, but by the Lord's leading, these three are the first who accepted the offer. One man named Noah and another named Paul (or Muthu) and a woman named Pakkiam who is the cook. Keep reading to see their life-changing testimonies:
