Nepal is a bit like Africa - those who have illnesses like leprosy are typically outcast by their local communities. The hospital is there to treat them, and also provides a chance for genuine fellowship. No one in coerced into converting to Christianity, no one is turned away from the hospital. He's been a missionary there for something like 30 years now, I'd say that shows some pretty damn fine genuine commitment.
Sounds like an awesome guy. The "chance for genuine fellowship" been curing leprosy of late? Thought not. Seems the services Paul offers that are most valuable and most useful to the folks he offers them to are the secular ones. Unless their "treatment" happens to be prayer....which I highly doubt. I've got a buddy that does a similar thing in China (for a similar amount of time). A church in Bradenton, Florida foots the majority of the bill, medical treatment does the majority of the -work-. Of course both your example and my own are anecdotal..and neither can -make right- the examples of religious organizations that hold these services hostage to affiliation.
