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
Pray for peace and justice within the country; tribal issues and violence often disturb this. Pray also for the Sudanese refugees that have crossed the Chadian border and have lost all they have: parents, children, homes and work.
Tuesday
Pray for the health of the TLM team, their partners, and their families, who often suffer from malaria and typhoid, as well as other health issues.
Wednesday
Pray for the coordination team of the National Leprosy Control Programme, who often have difficulty running the programme in an effective way.
Thursday
Pray for the Chadian health staff, who are often discouraged and demotivated in their role. Pray that they may develop new strength for their work with people with health problems and that persons affected by leprosy will receive the attention they need.
Friday
Many of our patients suffer from leprosy reaction during or after their treatment, which causes both pain and disability. Pray for early detection of reaction and speedy and full recovery as far as this is possible
Saturday
In a society with big differences between the rich and the poor, many persons with disability are leading a difficult life. Pray for God’s blessings on the efforts of the TLM team to find solutions and return people to fullness of life.
Sunday
Pray for the TLM countries that support Chad (the Netherlands, Germany, France and Belgium) and the TLM International Office team all of whom are faithfully encouraging the team in Chad.
Chad
TLM Chad supports leprosy control and disability prevention in two provinces of the Republic of Chad: Guéra and Salamat. This happens in close collaboration with Fondation Raoul Follereau and the National Leprosy Control Programme.
TLM Chad also supports training and case detection activities towards the east of the country in collaboration with its partners.
Through its different projects, TLM Chad aims to contribute to zero transmission of leprosy, zero disability and zero discrimination against persons affected by leprosy, persons with disability, and other vulnerable people who have been excluded by society. This work is carried out by government as well as TLM staff.
Awareness is one of the key components of the work of TLM Chad. As much as possible, community workers are involved in raising awareness of the early signs of leprosy and disability. In its holistic approach, TLM Chad seeks to address the medical, social and economic needs of people affected by leprosy and disability.
