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
Dear God, we thank you that you know each one of us by name and understand our deepest desires, wherever we are in this world. We praise you that we belong to you and that you care for everyone!
Tuesday
Lord, thank you for the love that you have shown us through our brothers and sisters in TLM. We are grateful for those who work serving people affected by leprosy or by other sicknesses. Give them physical and spiritual strength through your Holy Spirit!
Wednesday
Heavenly Father, you have called us to live in a loving relationship with you and to show your love to all people. Open our eyes to see you also in the dark days, give each of us strength to fulfil your special call.
Thursday
Almighty God, we pray together for your protection over those who are in danger because of war or aggression around them. Please help them in times of great sorrow; pour out your miraculous power on the lives of those who need healing and reconciliation. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Friday
We pray that Christ will live in our hearts by faith, and that through the Holy Spirit, we may all be strong from within. Give us the Spirit of love and peace that surpasses all understanding, so that our lives may be rooted and built in love.
Saturday
Lord of Grace, we pray that researchers may find the right vaccination that would stop leprosy. We ask that you lead us in all countries to work together for the benefit of all people and your glory!
Sunday
Praise be to you, Lord, for all the good things you have done—for the many lives that have been changed, healed, and saved! We give praise for your resurrection and for the everlasting life you grant to each one of us. Bless the work of TLM everywhere; we rejoice in you. Amen!
Belgium
TLM Belgium is a small but grateful organisation made up entirely of Christian volunteers. We communicate in three languages—English, French, and Dutch—because they are spoken in different parts of the country.
Another leprosy organisation active in Belgium is the Damien Foundation, with its head office in Brussels. It is well known throughout Belgium and has a strong presence in historically Catholic communities.
TLM Belgium focuses on engaging Protestant churches and is Chaired by Francis Van De Walle, a retiree who gives regular presentations about TLM’s work in churches. He is deeply devoted—just like the 91-year-old treasurer and the other dedicated Board members who carry out the work of TLM Belgium. Paulin Songolea Bakalania is the Country Leader.
