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.

A group of Women from Sri Lanka smiling at the camera standing at the shore of a beach.
Women from an island off the coast of Sri Lanka that had been confirmed as leprosy free. After climate change affected the island’s fishing industry, women began to travel to Colombo for work where they contracted leprosy and brought it back to their island.

Monday

Pray that TLM and its partners would be able to support district, regional, and national Ministry of Health programmes to improve leprosy services.

Tuesday

Pray that the "Collaborative Action in Finding Hidden Cases and Increasing Expertise and therefore Project" would be effective in early leprosy case detection.

Wednesday

Pray that the planned training for surgeons and physiotherapists will successfully lead to the provision of leprosy reconstructive surgery and aftercare.

Thursday

Thank God for expanding the Leprosy People's Association to many new districts in Sri Lanka. Pray they become strong and self-sustainable as they provide peer support and contribute to national and local leprosy interventions.

Friday

Pray for the success of the "Act 2 Prevent" national leprosy awareness campaign run in partnership with the Government and involving celebrity influencers.

Saturday

People affected by leprosy are being increasingly affected by climate change-related impacts. Pray for efforts to enhance climate resilience and mitigate disasters.

Sunday

There is a very high number of children being diagnosed with leprosy in Sri Lanka. Pray that we can find these cases early, so they can be cured and have a future without disability.

About TLM's work alongside partnerships in Sri Lanka

Over the last 10 years, The Leprosy Mission has expanded from supporting a few self-help groups and livelihood projects in a handful of communities to working across 18 districts. TLM partners with district, provincial, and national government health programmes, as well as with religious leaders, civil society, and branches of the Leprosy People's Association.

Our efforts include a strong focus on new case detection, raising awareness, and reducing stigma (often using art and drama). We also work on improving nutrition, providing water and sanitation, and strengthening agricultural livelihoods, which involves adaptation to the impact of climate change.
