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

2026 is the second year of the new programme cycle (2024-2028) of the Bougainville Healthy Communities Programme. Thank God for the new funding cycle from New Zealand Aid Programme and its continuing into its second year. Pray that as the programme continues in the new phase of implementation, the team can embrace changes in the newly designed programme and continue to work towards achieving health outcomes in Bougainville.

Tuesday

The new phase of BHCP is planning to trial PEP (preventing leprosy through antibiotics) in Bougainville in collaboration with the National Department of Health as leprosy cases have plateaued over the years. Pray that this new PEP project will be rolled out in Bougainville with the help of health volunteers and leprosy experts as new cases are evident in some part of the communities.

Wednesday

Thank God for BHCP’s senior management team, who provide guidance and support to the programme. Pray for good health and protection over them as they often travel to remote locations. Also, pray that they will be able to nurture the programme’s relationship with the Department of Health and Department of Community Government.

Thursday

Please pray for the Preventative Health & Community Empowerment Programme (PHACE) and Mud-Crab Farm Project as we are reaching into active implementation. Pray for the successful implementation by team who are working towards eliminating leprosy in these remote communities and encourage income generation activities to family members and person affected with leprosy and especially Crab Farm Project as we working hard to seek additional fundings to continue this livelihood project for people affected by leprosy.

Friday

Pray for TLM-PNG’s Climate Change Resilient Project, which is continuing into its final phase. Pray for the Lord for his blessing so the Climate Change Resilient Project will be extended by the donor.

Saturday

Pray for continued engagement and working partnership with Department of Provincial. This is a high-level stakeholder, so please pray that we continue positive dialogue and partnerships that lead us to eliminate leprosy and encourage healthy living and for effective collaborations.

Papua New Guinea

The Leprosy Mission Papua New Guinea (TLMN PNG) works in many different geographical locations, from remote rural villages to peri-urban communities. With determination, perseverance, and cheerful hearts full of God’s love and compassion, TLM PNG reaches marginalised populations and helps those affected by leprosy. They work closely with the PNG Government, other NGOs, and individual churches in order to help address the needs of the population. Together, they organise everything from case findings, referrals, and follow-up appointments, to awareness programs, livelihood seminars, volunteer training, and programs that empower community leaders.

For the first part of this week, we are praying for TLM Papua New Guinea (TLM PNG).

TLM PNG partners with government, nonprofit, and religious institutions in order to reach marginalised populations throughout the country. They provide everything from leprosy case finding programs to livelihood seminars and leadership empowerment programs, always adjusting to the specific needs of the communities they serve.

Bougainville

TLM New Zealand works in partnership with the Autonomous Bougainville Government and the NZ Aid Programme to implement the Bougainville Healthy Communities Programme (BHCP). This is the largest project within the Global Fellowship, and has been running for over 20 years.

Covering 95% of Bougainville's population, this exemplary preventative health model improves health, hygiene, and governance practices in a community-based and owned programme. This approach has a direct impact at the community level. The Leprosy Coordinator ensures that the team stays focused on detecting, diagnosing, and treating leprosy, despite challenging terrain and limited health infrastructure.
