In prayer with you
This week we are focusing our prayer on World Leprosy Day, which will be observed globally this Sunday with the aim of raising awareness and knowledge about leprosy, the fact that it can be cured and to change attitudes that stigmatise and marginalise people affected by the disease.
Within TLM it will be celebrated by a variety of activities appropriate within each country. In some places where leprosy is a health issue these may be about public education and advocacy, and in others they may be about raising funds and praying for the programmes that support people affected by the disease and its consequences.
In some countries where we work, TLM is taking a flexible approach and inviting supporters to celebrate a Leprosy Sunday in the months surrounding World Leprosy Day. This will give more opportunity for leprosy to be promoted in churches, schools and other communities.
Please join us in praying for the successful impact of World Leprosy Day activities around the world. You can find specific prayer points at https://www.leprosymission.org/get-involved/pray/world-leprosy-day-2019
