What does it mean to love like Jesus?
Those who know Jesus understand that caring for those rejected by others is to love like Jesus.
It means getting our hands dirty. Going to places others don’t go. It also means getting down on our knees to pray for those affected by leprosy.
As you begin a new year and a fresh start after the last 12 months of pain it’s more important than ever that we Love like Jesus, meaning loving those the world doesn’t.
As the world has been brought down by COVID-19, the needs of people with leprosy are in danger of being forgotten.
People like young dad Nuhu, battling disability and the pain of leprosy, risk also having to battle the despair of being rejected by their community. Made to feel that they are broken, and somehow unworthy of being loved.
Nuhu is a brave man. Despite his ongoing pain, he married and had four children, never knowing what was causing his suffering, or having any way to fix it.
Nuhu heard about The Leprosy Mission in Nigeria, and he came seeking help. This was when the love of Jesus flowing through people like you went to work – providing the Multi-Drug Therapy that could begin healing Nuhu’s leprosy.
The treatment worked.
Tragically, Nuhu thought that meant he could stop taking the healing drugs. The leprosy flared up, but by the time Nuhu returned to your help at The Leprosy Mission, it was too late.
Nuhu’s leg had to be amputated. Seeing Nuhu’s leprosy, his wife left him.
Please help stop this agony happening to someone else threatened by leprosy.
You can help train a Health Worker to reach someone like Nuhu before it is too late.
You can help train a community in leprosy awareness, so someone like Nuhu won’t be rejected.
You can help someone recovering from leprosy start a new life with a small business.
Let’s join together and teach communities that no one deserves to be rejected or stigmatised simply because they are suffering with leprosy.
