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
Kindly uphold the leaders of TLM Nepal (Country Director, Mr Shovakhar Kandel and Board Chair, Mr Ashok Adhikari). May they be blessed with God’s divine wisdom and led by a discerning spirit while making decisions. Please pray for their protection and good health. May they be empowered to fulfill God’s plan for their lives and the life of the organization.
Tuesday
Please pray for the safety and security of TLM Nepal staff who frequently travel to satellite clinics and field locations outside the Kathmandu Valley. We pray they will not encounter any harm during their journeys and that they can serve people affected by leprosy in these remote places.
Wednesday
Persons affected by leprosy are sharing their stories with other vulnerable people through self-help groups. We pray that these opportunities will give others hope so all can live with freedom in their communities.
Thursday
Sustainable livelihoods are crucial for persons affected by leprosy to maintain a good standard of living. Pray for our livelihoods programmes, that they will be effective in securing income for persons affected by leprosy.
Friday
On Good Friday, we remember the sacrifice that was made for us. In reverence, we turn our hearts to Christ and recognise that all our work to bring Heaven to Earth is made possible thanks to his death and resurrection. Praise be to God.
Saturday
Please pray for the TLM Nepal team. We pray for a spirit of collaboration so that we can be steadfast in working towards our goal of a world without leprosy. We pray that we will remain determined in our effort to grow together on this journey of mission.

On Easter Day we celebrate the most significant and powerful day in history. We give thanks and lift up all the celebrations happening across each of our countries. He is Risen!
About TLM Nepal
The Leprosy Mission Nepal has been working in Nepal since 1957. We work in partnership with the Government of Nepal to provide specialist tertiary care and technical support for leprosy activities.
Leprosy Defeated: All our projects are working towards the goals of zero transmission, zero disability, and zero discrimination. This happens with support from the government, our partners and, most importantly, people on the ground. Our field officers and supervisors are doing the hard work at every step. Our projects include active case finding, treatment follow up, contact tracing, training, and anti-stigma advocacy. We also work on mental health and wellbeing support across various projects.
Lives Transformed: Our community projects focus on sustainable livelihoods, education support, disability confident employers’ movements and inclusive job portals. We also focus on individual wellbeing, which means continuing the healing process after patients have been released from treatment. All this happens so that they people we support will lead good lives after their leprosy diagnosis.
