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 the health and safety of the rehabilitation workshops team members. They are spread across the country and are often close to conflict areas.
Tuesday
Churches act as Disability Resource Centres. This means offering basic rehabilitation services and sign posting for more complex needs. Please pray for our work with these churches, that we will have clear communication and fruitful outcomes for all involved.
Wednesday
We are partnering with an increasing number of organisations who would like to receive our disability inclusion training. Please pray that this will ensure leprosy and disability inclusion within their services.
Thursday
We focus on improving access to quality leprosy and disability services through three orthopaedic and disability rehabilitation centres (workshops) in Taungoo, Sittwe and Pakokku. Please pray for the new dormitory for service users in Taungoo, that it will run smoothly and be a blessing to those who stay there.
Friday
Following on from Thursday’s prayer for our workshops, we pray that we will continue to be able to provide prostheses and orthopaedic shoes through these workshops amidst the challenging situation in our country.
Saturday
Please pray for TLMM's involvement in a number of consortiums who are responding to the crisis situation in Myanmar. We pray that our work in these consortiums will ensure persons affected by leprosy and disability are included in the emergency responses of humanitarian organisations.
Sunday
We pray that persons affected by leprosy and persons with disability across Myanmar will one day be fully included within their communities.
About Myanmar – Disability Work
TLM Myanmar works to ensure persons affected by leprosy and persons with disabilities can participate in and influence Myanmar’s society.
TLMM is one of the leading organisations in Myanmar that empowers and enables persons affected by leprosy and persons with disabilities. We work with partners - including many churches - across the country to ensure that their work is disability-inclusive and that persons affected by leprosy are included throughout their work. These partnerships allow us to reach the most remote parts of the country.
Through our workshops, we also provide assistive devices including prostheses and protective footwear, which are difficult to find within local healthcare systems. Sadly, since the start of the conflict in Myanmar, there has been more and more need for prostheses as the fighting injures so many people.
