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.
Monday
We give thanks for the example set by Jesus during his earthly life. How he treated persons affected by leprosy has inspired two millennia of his followers, right up to today. Praise the Lord!
Tuesday
We give thanks for the way that churches in Myanmar responded to the crisis following the earthquake. We are grateful that our ongoing relationship with these churches allowed for swift action to support communities. Praise the Lord!
Wednesday
Please pray for all the churches that work to support persons affected by leprosy in their communities. We pray that they will be renewed in their motivation to care for these members of their communities. We pray that their work will have an impact and transform lives.
Thursday
We pray today for all the teams in The Leprosy Mission who are the links to the churches we support. We pray that they will be able to respond to the needs of our church partners and support them so they can support persons affected by leprosy.
Friday
Please join us in prayer that more churches will be moved to support the work to defeat leprosy. We pray that the church will be a key part of the generation that will defeat leprosy.
Saturday
We pray thanks for the other faith communities that support the work to defeat leprosy. In many leprosy-endemic communities, non-Christian faiths are the majority religion, and their support is invaluable, as they use their influence to make a difference.
Sunday
Give thanks with us for all the churches that will pray today for persons affected by leprosy and give money towards the fight to end this disease. This is a gift that honours God.
About our work with churches
All across the world, churches are following in the footsteps of Jesus as they work to defeat leprosy and transform the lives of those affected by the disease.
Some of these churches are supporting our work in leprosy endemic countries through referrals and efforts towards social inclusion, making our community interventions sustainable and impactful. Other churches are supporting this work through generous donations.
Churches are one of our most important partners and are integral to our work. In the aftermath of the 2025 earthquake in Myanmar, it was churches that worked with us to provide a lifeline to communities that were not being reached by humanitarian efforts. In Bangladesh, churches are reaching out to isolated villages in the tea plantations, in DR Congo ulcer patients are treated at low-cost, church-managed hospitals, and in Mozambique churches are supporting awareness and inclusion. Churches are playing a role across all of our countries.
