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
Spain: Please pray that the Lord would guide Miguel Torralba in the development of his new project and grant him wisdom in decision-making. Pray also for his daughters, Paula and Patricia – that the Lord would help them make wise personal decisions and bless them with discernment.
Tuesday
Spain: Pray that the Lord would open the door for Miguel to obtain a permanent professorship at the University of Alcalá, where he can continue his research on HIV and mycobacterial infections. Finally, please pray for his wife, that she may flourish in her work at the Faculty of Economics and in the field of microfinance.
Wednesday
Spain: Pray also for Jose Carballo’s children and family, that they may walk in the ways of the Lord. He hopes to retire soon, having served as a doctor with SUMA, and feels it is time to rest. Ask the Lord to give him wisdom for this new season, to understand His purpose for it, and to stir in him a holy dissatisfaction that leads to attentiveness to God’s voice and guidance.
Thursday
South Africa: Join us in giving thanks for the good responses received to our social media campaigns and pray that this will produce a sustained increase in income.
Friday
South Africa: Give thanks for the many opportunities we have had to train a wide range of health workers in the recognition of leprosy. Pray that this will lead to leprosy patients being diagnosed at a much earlier stage of the disease.
Saturday
South Africa: Pray that the Lord will open opportunities for many of our patients who struggle to find work and pray that our eyes will also be opened to new ways in which we can help them find employment.
Sunday
South Africa: Pray that the Lord will open opportunities for many of our patients who struggle to find work and pray that our eyes will also be opened to new ways in which we can help them find employment.
Spain & South Africa
Spain
TLM Spain works to raise money for people affected by leprosy in Nigeria. For years, they have engaged with donors and churches, encouraging them to share in their compassion for persons affected by leprosy. They have no full-time staff and work solely through volunteers. Their wonderful supporters have continued to show their love and support towards persons affected by leprosy throughout the difficult years of the pandemic and the economic challenges that have followed.
South Africa
The Leprosy Mission South Africa provides free treatment for leprosy patients, which includes disability prevention services and the distribution of leprosy medication. Health workers are trained to recognise leprosy at an early stage. Funds are raised to sustain this programme. We also run a general disability campaign called “RampUp.”
