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
Leprosy work in Chad is not an easy task. Please pray for the safety of our teams as they travel across the country to encourage nurses to raise awareness of leprosy and conduct case finding activities.
Tuesday
Disability prevention is an important aspect of TLM Chad’s work. The provision of orthopaedic appliances and walking aids (adapted shoes, prosthesis, crutches, bicycles, tricycles and sometimes a donkey) promote mobility and allow people to go back to school, to work, or to socialise. Please pray that more people will be able to engage with their communities thanks to these devices.
Wednesday
The team in Chad work hard to help persons with disability integrate into their communities. Please pray that more and more children and young adults will be able to reintegrate into their communities thanks to our efforts.
Thursday
Pray for the physiotherapists at Mongo and Am Timan Hospital, who are taking care of patients with pain and disability. Physiotherapy is still new in the Salamat and many more patients are in need of physiotherapy so as to improve their physical health. We pray that we can reach as many people as possible.
Friday
Mental health is a problem in a country affected by disease and poverty. Pray for the student who is currently studying mental health in Cotonou (Benin) and expected to set up a mental health programme in the Guéra on his return early 2026. May God bless his work.
Saturday
Give thanks for the Organisations of Persons with Disability in the Guéra Province. Through their work, they are helping their communities across the food they need during the rainy season, the hardest period of the year.
Sunday
Pray for the staff of TLM Chad who are living with disability. We pray that their zeal and courage may invite others to come forward and join in the work for dignity and a fullness of life.
About Chad
The team at TLM Chad supports leprosy work in the Guéra and Salamat provinces of the country in collaboration with the national government and their partners, the Fondation Raoul Follereau. The team also provides technical support to active case finding activities in refugee camps towards the North East of the country, where over a million Sudanese people have settled after fleeing the war in Sudan.
Training, supervision and disability prevention are important aspects of the work, as well as the provision of orthopaedic appliances and walking aids (adapted shoes, crutches, prostheses, and tricycles). These interventions promote mobility and allow persons affected by leprosy to participate in community life.
The team in Chad also run small-scale community based projects that aim to increase the inclusion of persons affected by leprosy within their communities. They also support children and adults who are struggling with their mental health.
