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
Pray for peace in Niger, especially in the Tillabéri and Tahoua regions. The insecurity in the surrounding countries, with terrorist activity in the west, is a threat to people living in the nearby communities. Many people have been displaced from their homes and farms as a result.
Tuesday
TLM Niger is developing a new country strategy this year. Please pray that the Lord will grant wisdom and guidance to the team and their partners, to know what to focus on.
Wednesday
Please pray for the restoration of diplomatic relations between Niger and both neighbouring and Western countries. The lack of diplomatic relations has placed many Nigeriens in increasingly vulnerable positions, with reduced access to food and jobs, as well as an economic downturn.
Thursday
Pray for success in finding new cases of leprosy through TLM Niger’s collaboration with leprosy health workers and the National Leprosy Control Programme in active case finding. Pray also for CSL Danja hospital and IDEA Niger, who are crucial partners in our work in Niger. May these partners be blessed with good leaders.
Friday
Life is tough in Niger due to poor rainfall, a very hot climate, insecurity, a high cost of living, irregular electricity supply, and the impact of the coup. Pray for good rain and relief from the oppressive heat. Pray for wisdom for the government and its partners. Pray for relief for the people of Niger, especially people affected by leprosy who are among the many vulnerable people.
Saturday
Pray for the TLM Niger team: Bunmi, Ichaya, Yohanna, Raissa, Saratou, Sani, Abigail, Adamou and Daouda. May God grant them wisdom to do their work and be faithful stewards of His grace.
Sunday
Praise God for the commitment of TLM Niger’s Board members. Pray God’s blessing and good health for Iro Sani, the Chairman of the Board.
Niger
The Leprosy Mission Niger works in six regions in Niger: Tilaberi, Niamey, Tahoua, Dosso, Zinder, and Maradi. We work with the National Leprosy Control Programme, health professionals in the health system, CSL Danja Hospital, and IDEA-Niger (an association of persons affected by leprosy) among others.
Our key activities includes:
- Leprosy services: raising awareness of leprosy, active case finding, training and supervision of health workers
- Community Development: providing grants and micro credit for income-generating activities such as agriculture and business, a housing project for homeless people affected by leprosy, provision of drinkable water, building of ventilated latrines and promoting hygiene to prevent water borne diseases
- Support to CSL Danja Hospital: building the capacity of their multi-disciplinary team so they can prevent disability, provide ulcer care and restore hope, dignity and function
- Support to IDEA-Niger: through training in advocacy, empowerment and creating community awareness
