Hello, all --
In lieu of a birthday gift for me this year, I'm asking you to contribute to Gospel for Asia's Leprosy Ministry.
In Asia it’s common to flee from someone inflicted by leprosy. Considered unclean by society, people are afraid to catch the disease. Can you imagine having people run away from you wherever you went? Sometimes their own families abandon them. Poor and owning absolutely nothing, they can go days without a meal. What a horrible life and feeling of despair that would bring. BUT there is hope!
By giving to our leprosy ministry you can enable many leprosy patients to see God’s love displayed to them daily.
By raising funds, you can help me provide:
Medical treatment; those suffering with leprosy get urgent care for their needs, enabling them to heal faster!
A hot meal; who doesn’t want a hot meal? This allows them to get the nourishment they need, achieve good health and live longer!
Custom shoes; instead of walking on rocks and dirt, they now have support to go where they need to without hurting their feet!
Hygiene supplies; can you imagine not having a toothbrush? soap? shampoo? Basic necessities like these allow them to smell and feel good, which builds their confidence.
Please help me share the love of Christ to these precious, unforgotten people. Thank you so much -- I love you!!

Although it's a curable disease, over a quarter of a million people in the world are afflicted with leprosy, most of them in developing nations.
Years without treatment causes most suffers of the disease to be disfigured and unable to work. Because they are a maligned part of society, they have no choice but to beg and live in colonies.
Your donation will support GFA's ministry among the leprosy patients. This will provide medical treatment, hot meals, custom shoes and the message of Jesus' love.
