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.

Amudha was first diagnosed with leprosy as a child and underwent an amputation on her right foot at SIHRLC in Karigiri, India. Ever since, she’s returned to SIHRLC every few years for orthotic boots that protect her feet and keep her independent. SIHRLC’s new Prosthetics and Orthotics Centre will help thousands more people like Amudha! Photo credit: Tom Bradley

Monday

We welcome prayers for wisdom for ALM as we implement a new strategy and pursue opportunities and projects with

like-minded partners.

Tuesday

Pray for new construction projects at our hospital partners: the Schieffelin Institute of Health - Research and Leprosy Centre (SIHRLC) in India and Lalgadh Leprosy Hospital in Nepal. With grants from the USAID ASHA programme, both hospitals are breaking ground for new buildings: a Centre for Prosthetics and Orthotics at SIHRLC and a research and training facility at Lalgadh.

Wednesday

Pray for the Phase 1b trial of the first leprosy-specific vaccine, LepVax. This clinical trial in Brazil, administered by our partner, the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz), will determine LepVax’s effectiveness.

Thursday

Pray for ASPIRE, our active case-finding project in Bihar, India, that is uncovering thousands of cases of leprosy, lymphatic filariasis, and scabies in rural villages that would otherwise go undetected. Please pray for the project teams conducting community health checks in these villages, so that people would be receptive and open to their assistance.

Friday

Pray for the advocacy organisations and coalitions worldwide that Effect Hope partners with to drive policy changes, including the Canadian Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases, Uniting to Combat NTDs and others. Collaboration is critical in the global fight against NTDs.

Saturday / Sunday

We thank God for our loyal supporters committed to helping people overcome disease, disability, and discrimination. Please pray that God would inspire even more Canadians to join us in this mission.
