TLM's Global Day of Prayer

We are inviting you to join Christians across the world to pray for a world without leprosy for our annual Day of Prayer on Wednesday 06 May 2026.

This year we will pray for the work of The Leprosy Mission worldwide, with a particular focus on Body, Soul and Spirit – God’s love for the whole person and the following bible verses:

"May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it."

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

" Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."

Romans 12: 1-2

This year we will focus on how to help people experience God's love and care, through our every day work. True service comes from putting ourselves in someone else's position, trying to understand what is like for them, and serving from a place of empathy and brotherhood.

God is a loving Father, and we are His masterpiece. Our bodies are the temple where His Holy Spirit dwells. To build God’s church means to care for people’s physical and spiritual needs. In our case, that means bringing healing to those affected by leprosy: caring for their physical well-being while also sharing a message that can lift their spirits.

As we come together, we become a visible unity, the body of Christ on earth.

On the Day of Prayer we will: 

• Acknowledge God as Jehovah Jirah, as our provider.
• Bring the prayers and petitions of TLM Members to the wider Global Fellowship.
• Wait upon God and listened to what He is saying to the Global Fellowship.
• Be encouraged by hearing what God is doing across the Global Fellowship

Like the Day of Prayer in previous years, the day itself will include international prayer services that will be held over Zoom in English and French.
