Pray with us
How you can pray with us
Prayer is central to all that we do. We would love you to be involved in the prayer life of The Leprosy Mission. Each year we produce the ASK Prayer Diary, which provides a global overview of The Leprosy Mission’s work. You can view the ASK Prayer Diary week by week below, download a PDF of the full year, or request a printed booklet.
You can also follow our prayer life through the PrayerMate app, where we provide daily prayer requests for the work to defeat leprosy delivered direct to your phone. Get involved with PrayerMate here.
Monday
We could start this week no better way than by giving thanks for all the churches that play a role in the fight to defeat leprosy. Praise be to God!
Tuesday
Today we pray for the individual church-goers who have given of their own time to receive training in leprosy so that they can support persons affected by leprosy. We give thanks for these individuals who generously offer their prayers, money, time and talents, and we pray that God will guide them in this work.
Wednesday
Whilst churches and other faith communities across the world face persecution, we will continue to pray. Join us today in a prayer for religious freedom across the world.
Thursday
Funds from churches have sustained the fight to defeat leprosy across 15 decades. We give thanks today for every church that has ever hosted leprosy awareness events or made a donation to The Leprosy Mission.
Friday
Today we pray for all the members of TLM’s teams whose role it is to engage with churches, and gain their support for persons affected by leprosy. May God grant them wisdom and creativity.
Saturday
In some countries we have the privilege of partnering with other faith groups who also hope to see their communities free from leprosy. We give thanks for these partnerships and we pray they continue with mutual appreciation
Sunday
Since the days that Christ walked on Earth, Christians have cared for persons affected by leprosy. We pray that God will continue to inspire his people to this great work until we reach a world without leprosy.
About churches fighting leprosy
A world without leprosy is closer than ever before because of the work of faith groups.
Because of this, churches are a crucial partner for The Leprosy Mission. This partnership is so central to our operations that it has been given special mention in our new global strategy.
Churches across the world play a variety of roles in the fight to defeat leprosy. Some provide sign-posting services for persons affected by leprosy. Others give regularly and selflessly to our work. There are some that have even been trained to offer direct services to persons affected by leprosy, supporting them with self-care and rehabilitation. All follow in the footsteps of Christ.
