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.
