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.

World Leprosy Day
World Leprosy Day takes place every year on the last Sunday of January. This year’s World Leprosy Day is taking place this week, on 25 January.
This day is a day of pride for Organisations of Persons Affected by Leprosy (OPLs) and an opportunity for organisations and churches to celebrate the contributions of persons affected by leprosy to their communities.
It is also a day to focus our efforts on a world where there is no more leprosy transmission, drawing the attention of governments, donors and churches to the opportunity that stands before us.
All of this happens through in-person events, celebrations, and services, as well as through online campaigns. Please join us this year in any way you can!
