Life in a leper colony is filled with hopelessness and grinding poverty.  The unfortunate victims of leprosy are considered cursed, even by their own family members, and are often disowned for life even after they have received medical treatment and are no longer considered contagious.  Cut off from family, friends, and society, many lepers resort to begging on the streets, forced to live out the rest of their days in lonely squalor.

CFI co-workers made a recent delivery of supplies to a leper colony in Orissa, bringing rice, blankets, and Bibles to over 40 colony residents.  In a place filled with overwhelming need, CFI serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration for these suffering men and women.

For the past year, CFI has actively responded to this severe humanitarian crisis in Orissa.  Our ongoing support provides food, clothing, medicine and Bibles to hundreds of needy people, particularly those who are languishing in refugee camps.  With the help of indigenous co-workers in India, CFI is making an impact in a place that has been torn apart by hatred, violence, and destruction.

Your partnership with us is critical to the success of our mission to support the Persecuted Church in places like Orissa.  Please help us continue this mission through your prayers and financial support.
