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
TLM is an organisation rooted in prayer and integral mission. Pray we would continue to remain true to our calling to walk with Christ in healing and serving people affected by leprosy.
Tuesday
As an international organisation, our global strategy informs our approach to all of our work. Pray that we would further develop our integral mission approaches through the new TLM Global Strategy, which launched this year.
Wednesday
On Christmas Day, we give thanks to God for all the churches who follow in the example that Jesus set during his Earthly life. So many are involved in showing care to persons affected by leprosy, just like Jesus did. Thank you, Lord, for the example you set us all.

Pray that God would also be active in the lives of our team members, transforming them so that they are better able to support transformation in the lives of the people, churches and communities we work with.
Friday
Let us be an organisation that listens to God and seeks to learn from His wisdom, so that our interventions are guided through the Holy Spirit to greater impact.
Saturday
Pray for love and humility within the TLM Global Fellowship (see week one) that will be a strong witness to the character of Christ and build unity.
Sunday
Please pray for our Spiritual Ministry Working Group, who guide the spiritual life of the Mission. May God guide all of their work.
Our Christ-Centred Approach
In this Christmas week, as we celebrate God coming to be with us, we want to focus our attention on how the example that Christ set during his time on Earth informs everything we do at The Leprosy Mission.
God redeems, renews, and restores all of our persons and communities. Jesus, during his time on Earth, showed us that he is concerned with every part of our life—our mind, body, family, employment, community, neighbourhood, wellbeing, and spirit. This is why TLM seeks to take a holistic approach to serving people affected by leprosy; firstly treating them, but also providing counselling, empowering them, reducing stigma, addressing their rights, supporting livelihoods, praying for them and seeking the complete transformation of them and their communities. This approach also extends to facilitating the transformation of those who work for, volunteer with, or financially support TLM.
