You Can Deliver the Cure
Confronted by the incalculable human suffering caused by leprosy, American Leprosy Missions continues the Deliver the Cure Campaign in 2009.
In partnership with individuals, businesses, foundations and churches we set our goal to deliver a complete cure and rehabilitation for 25,000 children, men, and women with leprosy around the world — before it is too late for them.
Every two minutes, another person contracts leprosy.
Every twenty minutes, a child is infected with this devastating disease.
At no time has your support been more important in ensuring success in our effort to deliver the cure to make lives better for those affected by leprosy.
“For I know the plans that I have for you,” declares the Lord, “Plans for welfare and not for calamity, to give you a future and a hope.”
-Jeremiah 29:11
