For over five years, we have been visiting the “city on the graveyard,” where people live right among the tombs. Initially, only lepers lived there, but over time, others who couldn’t afford housing in better places started joining, and people began building houses and living there on their own. This has been going on for about 50 years.
And a year ago, while serving in the “city on the graveyard,” the Lord led us to a woman who showed us the place where two lepers live. They are our Christian brothers, praying and reading the Word of God. One brother named Ha Dok is from a minority tribe, 70 years old, and he is legless. He loves the Lord Jesus Christ deeply. We sing songs and pray with him. The other brother, Vo Van, is 76 years old. These brothers have no relatives. Every month we bring them food and various treats.
The place they live in is very modest (made of plywood, cardboard, and corrugated iron instead of walls). I recently learned that the place they live is called the “House of Mercy,” and my heart immediately yearned to improve this place. However, I encountered numerous obstacles when trying to fulfill this dream. But I believe in the power of prayer, and that is why I ask you, dear ones, to join our prayer so that the Lord Himself would help us in this good work. May His Holy name be glorified in it.
By the way, two more lepers need housing and are willing to live in this place. Beloved from the heart and soul, we thank you for your labor in the work of God.
