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.

India: Research and Training
The Leprosy Mission Trust India (TLMTI) conducts research in different areas – laboratory, clinical, operational, and social.
The Stanley Browne Laboratory plays a vital role by conducting drug resistance studies and developing diagnostic tools for leprosy. They also study the presence of live leprosy bacteria in soil and water to determine what role they play in the transmission of leprosy.
The clinical and social research at TLMTI encompasses clinical trials, disability studies, ulcer management, and complication management, through innovative approaches.
Additionally, TLMTI collaborates with like-minded organisations to foster partnerships that support their research goals. Through these diverse research efforts, TLMTI aims at advancing our understanding of leprosy, improving diagnostic and treatment approaches, enhancing disability management, and promoting social initiatives for a holistic approach to combating impact of leprosy on individuals and communities.
