In this powerful episode of the Anchoring Hope Podcast, we sit down with Peter Waddup, Chief Executive Officer of The Leprosy Mission UK, as he shares his deeply personal journey from corporate life to Christ-centered mission work.
Peter has been involved with The Leprosy Mission since 2008—first as a volunteer for nine years, and now as CEO since 2017. After encountering the harsh realities of leprosy during a backpacking trip in the 1990s, Peter felt God plant a calling in his heart that would eventually shape the rest of his life.
🙏 In this episode, we explore:
- How leprosy is still a reality today, especially in the poorest parts of the world
- The life-transforming power of love, touch, and dignity for those affected
- Peter’s own story of finding Jesus and discovering his true calling
- The biblical truth that we’re called to love with our lives, not just our words
- Why being the hands and feet of Jesus matters more than ever in today’s broken world
✨ “While the world looks away, Jesus draws near to the outcast—and He calls us to do the same.”
📖 “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and love your neighbor as yourself.” – Matthew 22:37-39
