The Beautiful Lepers
  
Dear Friends in the Lord  
 
Following are a continuation of the most beautiful Christians I have ever met - the lepers in India who have come to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. These are my precious family. Indeed they are your family if you are bound to Jesus Christ. With one exception below, these photos were taken during my recent visit to two leper colonies in India. 
 
I pray you are able to preceive the depth of the beauty, love, and faith of Jesus Christ that resides so deeply in these precious saints. They possess the greatest faith because they come to the King of Kings out of the depths of the greatest need. Their's is not the faith of the "prosperity gospel" but the faith of Job, and Joseph, and Abraham, and David, and Jesus Christ. They endure for the "joy that is set before them." And indeed even now that joy within them is great.

 "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 
 
The Beautiful Lepers
Court praying for, loving, and encouraging Sister Satyavathi's husband, also a leper. He is a godly and dear saint. Our brethren need our love and help.
 
The joy and faith of these lepers has been greatly strengthened by the love of their American brethren. The lepers of India are considered unclean and untouchable by most of Indian society, and most of them live in abject poverty in isolated colonies. Compelled by the grace and love of God in Jesus Christ, their Indian and American Christian brethren are reaching out to them, helping them, and embracing them. 

  My friends, please join with us in strengthening and comforting our brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ in India.
"Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
