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.

Our Christ-Centered Approach
From its beginning, more than 150 years ago, The Leprosy Mission has strived to bring the consolation or comfort of the Gospel to persons, families and communities affected by leprosy. Our founder, Wellesley Bailey, knew that the ‘consolation of the Gospel’ was more than the word of God itself, it was also God’s word in action.
Today, The Leprosy Mission seeks to bring the ‘consolation of the Gospel’ to those affected by leprosy in a number of different ways. These include speaking of Christ’s transforming love, building transforming communities of faith, responding to the physical needs of those affected by leprosy, challenging unjust structures in society, ensuring those most marginalised are included in their communities, providing those affected by leprosy with inner well-being support and caring for and respecting the environments where persons and families affected by leprosy live.
The consolation of the Gospel - Leprosy defeated, lives truly transformed!
