Pray with us
Pray with us
According to the founder of The Leprosy Mission, Wellesley Bailey, the Mission was ‘born and cradled in prayer. We keep that tradition alive today.

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.

What we are giving thanks for this week:
Our work in Ethiopia

Monday
Pray that we would place the safety and security of our beautiful country in the hands of God.

Pray for better livelihoods for persons affected by leprosy in Ethiopia and that our programmes might help to make that possible.
Wednesday
Pray that we will find ways to access new funding opportunities so that we can narrow the big demand for leprosy services in Ethiopia.
Thursday
Pray for the laws that protect the rights of persons affected by leprosy to be well implemented and that we will make good use of these legal protections in our work.
Friday
Pray for our partnerships with the government, other NGOs, faith-based organisations, youth volunteers, and academics. We pray these partnerships will grow in strength.
Saturday
We are a team that always wants to grow our expertise and skills. Pray that we will have opportunities to do that in 2025.

About TLM Ethiopia
TLM Ethiopia engages with the Ethiopian government, other NGOs, and ENAPAL (Ethiopia’s Organisation of Persons Affected by Leprosy). Together we use our expertise and capacity to reduce transmission of leprosy in Ethiopia, to prevent and care for leprosy-related disabilities, and to amplify the voices of persons affected by leprosy and persons with disability.
Our current work includes increasing leprosy knowledge amongst health professionals in the high-endemic area of Woredas so that we can identify new cases. We are also working on campaigns to end stigma and discrimination and programmes that can provide viable, sustainable livelihoods for persons affected by leprosy and persons with disability.
