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
We ask you to join us at the start of the week with a prayer of thanks. We are grateful that we are afforded the privilege of daily devotions together. We do not take for granted that we can do this freely and openly.
Tuesday
When humanitarian emergencies take place across our Member countries, our team plays a role in coordinating how TLM responds. Several of our countries are Fragile States and many are badly exposed to the climate crisis. In any emergency, we pray that we will have the wisdom to respond appropriately.
Wednesday
Each year, TLM’s teams across the world rely on our office to organise and facilitate global-level meetings. These can be logistically challenging, and so we pray for those in our team who must work around these challenges. These meetings are also a blessing, allowing us to meet with friends worldwide, and so we give thanks as well.
Thursday
This year, the Chair of TLM International, Colin Osborne, is stepping down after many long years of service to TLM in a variety of roles. We give thanks for Colin’s work as a servant of God and we pray for the search for a new Chair, that we might find the right person.
Friday
Safeguarding is an integral part across our work and our office and Board have an important role to play in ensuring all our teams and those with whom we work are safe. Please pray for encouragement and good decision-making among our safeguarding teams.
Saturday
Our work sometimes requires us to travel. We pray for the safety of our colleagues when they travel and that we will always be mindful of the cost of our travel on the health of our planet.
Sunday
We want persons affected by leprosy to be central to all of our work. We pray that we will find appropriate ways to engage meaningfully with the leaders of Organisations of Persons Affected by Leprosy.
About TLM's International Office
TLM’s International Office is a secretariat team that supports and connects TLM’s country offices across the world. We do this across a variety of fields, including Human Resources, Operations, Finance, Communications, Fundraising, Advocacy, and more.
In recent years, our work has included coordinating the development of The Leprosy Mission’s new global strategy, supporting the celebrations around the organisation’s 150th anniversary, and rolling out our custom-built leadership development programme across our country offices.
Our office is in Brentford, London, but we have colleagues across Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America. Our different time zones do not stop us from meeting together each day to pray alongside you for our work across the world and for each other.
