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.

TLM Ethiopia
TLM Ethiopia has been supporting leprosy work in the country since the 1950s, despite challenges such as limited funding and weaknesses in the health system. Between 2017 and 2022, our team directly impacted nearly 20,000 people, and we currently run several important projects aimed at supporting individuals affected by leprosy and disability. The Dare to Dream project focuses on identifying new cases, raising awareness, and strengthening the capacity of General Health Workers, Health Extension Workers, and Leprosy Technicians to detect leprosy as early as possible. It also includes capacity building in reconstructive surgery and LPRF wound management. The We Are Able project works to enhance the social and economic inclusion of people with disabilities, ensuring access to essential services and improving food security. In addition to these, TLM Ethiopia is engaged in Leprosy Mapping, Education support for families of persons affected by leprosy, and ongoing Research initiatives.
