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. 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.

TLM Fundraising
Isn’t it awe-inspiring to know that the first Leprosy Mission fundraisers were ‘recruited’ in 1874, when the Pim sisters, friends of Wellesley and Alice Bailey, pledged to raise £30 a year. Their approach remains relevant to our Fundraisers today: engaging supporters and raising funds through church meetings and creative pamphlets, while ensuring good stewardship of donations.
We serve an awesome God who, since 1874, has raised up the right fundraisers at the right time—spurring them on to build meaningful relationships between donors, people affected by leprosy, and His mission, founded on love and care.
Through His mission, He allows fundraisers to be his co-workers. Fundraising, therefore, is not only about raising funds to meet physical needs, but also to reflect God's love, build communities, and advance His kingdom on earth through acts of love and justice. Praise God that through fundraising, as the famous hymn says, ‘God is working His purpose out’!
