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.

TLM Congo is looking to organise a local Board who will govern their work (currently they are governed by TLM International’s Board). Please pray for strong collaboration between churches, the government and TLM Congo throughout this process. May the Lord assist us so that all choices and decisions are oriented and guided by the light of the Holy Spirit. (1 Corinthians 3:9)

We ask for God's support for the two support groups that are a part of our mental health project. We pray that the groups can manage their activities so they can become profitable and increase the income of their members. (Proverbs 16:3)

Saturday/ Sunday
We pray that our team will always remember these words, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7)
About Democratic Republic of Congo
The Leprosy Mission has been working in DR Congo for more than 50 years. After Algeria, DR Congo is the second largest country in Africa and is the 11th largest in the world. The Leprosy Mission is present in six of DR Congo’s 26 provinces, running more than 10 projects focused on achieving zero leprosy.
The team works in partnership with the government, churches, and OPALCO (DRC’s Organisation of Persons Affected by Leprosy). Alongside these partners, TLM Congo’s 26 staff members are fully committed to the fight to defeat leprosy in DR Congo. This means finding new cases, caring for leprosy-related disabilities, and supporting persons affected by leprosy with their mental health.
