LEPROSY

I care about people with disabilities and that’s why I am 100 per cent behind the work of American Leprosy Missions. Our friends at ALM are laboring among the world’s least and last – persons with disabilities – giving them help and hope in Christ.

Joni Eareckson Tada

The Bible tells us that Jesus not only healed those with leprosy, He touched them. That, to me, is the most important aspect of the wonderful work done by American Leprosy Missions. They don’t just heal people with leprosy, they touch them with the love and hope of Jesus. Can we do any less?

Ruth Bell Graham

[Lepers are treated] as if they were, in effect, dead men.

Josephus

If the children receive the cure in time, they don’t have to suffer at all; if they don’t receive the cure, their suffering will never end.

C. Everett Koop, U.S. Surgeon General (retired)

No other disease reduces a human being for so many years to so hideous a wreck.

E.W.G. Masterman
