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 pray for the wellbeing of people affected by leprosy, their families, children, and the most vulnerable. We pray that their basic needs may be met and that they may find hope for the future.
Tuesday
We pray that God will mediate in the process of building new partnerships with the district leaders in the new district of Namarroi, where partnerships are still being built.
Wednesday
We pray that cooperatives may become an authentic, lived reality and that they may support community members with their finances.
Thursday
We pray for peace and security in Mozambique and for the protection of all citizens, especially those already living in vulnerable situations, such as those affected by leprosy.
Friday
We thank God for the new Olikanassa project, launched in September 2025, funded by Irish Aid. We pray that this project will contribute significantly to overcoming leprosy, restoring dignity, and transforming lives in the communities where leprosy exists. Through this intervention, may TLM Mozambique receive a positive evaluation from the donor, opening doors to future collaboration opportunities.
Saturday
We pray for the empowerment of young people and local leaders as community correspondents. May they tell authentic stories of transformation and impact. Pray for wisdom to communicate with sensitivity and inclusion.
Sunday
We want to thank God for opening doors, and for wisdom and guidance in implementing our work in Mozambique. We also remember our traditional supporting countries and others who have joined us in this mission, commissioned by the Lord Jesus Christ, to defeat leprosy and transform lives.
Mozambique
The Leprosy Mission Mozambique is committed to combatting leprosy and improving the living conditions of people affected by leprosy and those with disabilities.
In 2008, leprosy was declared as eliminated in Mozambique, but this was based on old criteria and the country is still considered endemic, with approximately 3,000 new cases of leprosy recorded annually and over 10% among children. TLMM works with other partners to support the national leprosy control programme by training health personnel to diagnose, treat, and monitor leprosy patients. At the community level, TLMM supports the creation of community structures such as self-care groups, savings groups, leprosy committees, and others that work on preventing disabilities, income-generating activities, social inclusion of people affected by leprosy and people with disabilities, and empowering communities to become resilient to climate change. Collaboration with communities, churches, OPLs, government, as well as remote communities, has proven key to the programme’s success in Mozambique.
