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
The Republic of Chad is a large, sub-Saharan African country with a harsh climate and difficult road conditions. Please pray for the safety and security of the supervisors who travel to encourage health centre nurses to spread awareness and find new leprosy cases in the local communities.
Tuesday
Disability prevention is an important aspect of TLM Chad’s work. Pray for the provision of assistive devices (adapted shoes, prosthesis, crutches, bicycles, tricycles, and sometimes a donkey) that promote mobility and enable people to return to school, to work and to socialise.
Wednesday
Inclusion of persons with disabilities is an important part of TLM Chad’s work. Pray for our community projects, that they will help children and young adults reintegrate within their communities.
Thursday
Pray for the physiotherapists of Mongo and Am Timan hospitals as they take care of patients experiencing pain and disability. Physiotherapy is still new in Salamat, and many more patients need physiotherapy to improve their physical health and function. May God help us reach as many as possible.
Friday
Mental health is a problem in a country affected by disease and poverty. Pray for the student who has studied mental health in Cotonou (Benin) and is expected to set up a mental health programme in the Guéra on his return in early 2026.
Saturday
Give thanks for the organisations of persons with disabilities in Guéra that are attending to the nutritional needs of the community around them during the rainy season, the hardest period of the year. Give thanks that they are able to integrate the wider community into their efforts.
Sunday
Pray for the staff with disabilities who are actively contributing to TLM Chad’s projects. Pray that their zeal and courage may invite others to come forward and join in the strife for dignity and fullness of life for persons affected by leprosy and disability.
Chad
TLM Chad supports the leprosy work in the Guéra and Salamat provinces, in collaboration with the National Leprosy Programme of the Republic of Chad and its ILEP-partner, Fondation Raoul Follereau. It also provides technical support to active case finding activities in refugee camps towards the North East of the country, where over a million Sudanese have settled having fled the war in Sudan.
Training, supervision and disability prevention are important aspects of the work, as well as the provision of orthopaedic appliances and walking aids (adapted shoes, crutches, prostheses, tricycles etc.) These tools promote mobility and active participation in community life for people affected by leprosy and disability.
To support the inclusion of persons affected by leprosy and disabilities, TLM Chad implements projects for children with physical disability as well as for children and adults with mental health problems. TLM Chad promotes disability rights and has taken on board several staff living with disability.
