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
This year 2026 is marked by the completion of the Local Governance process and a new national strategy 2026-2023. Let us pray that the Lord will be in control of these great changes so that his Mission continues to better serve the affected people (Proverbs 16:3).
Tuesday
People affected by leprosy are often discriminated against and rejected by their own biological families. Let us pray that members of these families will improve their knowledge about leprosy in the new phase of the TABITHA project (Ephesians 2:14).
Wednesday
Last season's harvest was not great due to weather disturbances. This disrupted the group's operations and members' expectations in our project in Kasai. We ask the Lord to intervene this year so that the harvest is satisfactory for the benefit of the members. (Genesis 2:15).
Thursday
Let us pray that the committees will take care of the water sources and building latrines built for their maintenance and for the protection of the environment and especially for the well-being of the populations by improving their access to drinking water (Isaiah 41:17-18).
Friday
Let us pray that the Lord will bring lasting peace to the people of the Eastern DRC, that people affected by leprosy and those living with disabilities will have access to care (Isaiah 32:17-18).
Saturday
Let us pray for those who are working hard to help the most vulnerable despite the many obstacles, that the Lord will continue to give them the means necessary to overcome these obstacles, for it is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35).
Sunday
The Lord is a faithful shepherd who cares for his children. He provides for all their needs, giving them rest, peace, and security, even in the midst of difficulties (Psalm 23:1-6).
Democratic Republic of Congo
The Leprosy Mission has been working in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) for more than 50 years. DRC is the second largest country in Africa, and The Leprosy Mission works in seven of DRC's 26 provinces, running more than 10 projects focused on achieving zero leprosy. The team works very closely with OPALCO (DRC's Organisation of Persons Affected by Leprosy), the Leprosy National Program and local churches. TLM DRC has around 27 staff members who work to defeat leprosy through trainings, awareness campaigns, new cases finding, care for leprosy-related disabilities, support for people affected in their wellbeing or mental health and efforts to eliminate stigma.
