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.
Flash floods response
This week we are praying for Nepal. We were scheduled to pray for Nepal even before the flash floods last week. In response, we will pray for the country as we had planned, whilst also holding those affected by the floods close at heart.
In the aftermath of last week’s floods, please pray for those affected and those engaged in relief efforts. Our team are working with local churches to identify persons affected by leprosy who need support, our hospital is ready to support with those who have been injured, and within the coming days, once the roads open, we are planning to lead a medical camp in the affected area, alongside the supply of emergency resources. Please pray for all of this, as you join us in the prayer we had already planned for today.
Monday
Kindly uphold the leaders of TLM Nepal (Country Director, Mr Shovakhar Kandel and Board Chair, Mr Ashok Adhikari). May God bless them with divine wisdom and knowledge as they lead the organisation. Please pray for their continued leadership, protection and good health.
Tuesday
Community programmes are vital for us and not only strengthen the leprosy support work but also contribute to leprosy elimination programme nationally. Pray for the safety and security of the TLM Nepal staff as they serve the community through satellite clinic, self-help groups, skin camps and advocacy.
Wednesday
The National Cooperative and Self-Help Group is now officially registered under the Government of Nepal—a major milestone for TLM Nepal in the journey towards Zero Discrimination. Uniting 64 cooperatives across 17 districts, it is one of Nepal’s largest leprosy-focused, community-led networks. Pray for its strength and impact in ending stigma.
Thursday
TLM Nepal has initiated a new phase of its country strategy 2026-2030. Please pray that TLM Nepal can use its past learning and experience to fill the gaps in the work of leprosy and can foster further to contribute to the elimination campaign of leprosy.
Friday
TLM Nepal supports the children of people affected by leprosy to continue their education. This has helped many shape their careers and inspired them to pursue higher studies. Pray that individuals and families affected by leprosy and disability may live strong, dignified lives.
Saturday
Please pray for the active participation of churches in our work. May their involvement increase local ownership and help us deliver holistic care to those in need.
Sunday
Please pray for all of those affected by the flash floods last week. We pray for those who are grieving, those who have lost their homes and livelihoods, and those who have suffered life-changing injuries. We pray for those who are engaged in relief efforts and the recovery in the region. We lift all of this to the Lord with pleading hearts.
Nepal
The Leprosy Mission (TLM) began its work in Nepal in 1957 with the establishment of Anandaban Hospital in Lalitpur. Since 2005, TLM Nepal has operated as an independent NGO with a local board, partnering with the Government of Nepal to provide specialist care, support leprosy control programs, and conduct globally recognised research. It also runs community inclusive development programs focused on health, education, livelihoods, advocacy, and inclusion for people affected by leprosy and disability.
In the aftermath of last week’s floods, please pray for those affected and those engaged in relief efforts. Our team are working with local churches to identify persons affected by leprosy who need support, our hospital is ready to support with those who have been injured, and within the coming days, once the roads open, we are planning to lead a medical camp in the affected area, alongside the supply of emergency resources. Please pray for all of this, as you join us in the prayer we had already planned for today.
