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
Praise God for new supporters as they strengthen our commitment to work together in hope, love, and purpose. May their support be a beacon of compassion that brings healing and lasting change for people affected by leprosy as we pursue the audacious goal of No Child with Leprosy by 2035.
Tuesday
Pray for the strategic integration of the Bougainville Healthy Communities Programme into the region’s Department of Health. We ask for continued support from the Bougainville Government so this programme can build healthy, empowered, and resilient communities.
Wednesday
Give thanks for the support of the Kiribati Government for the PHACE programme. Pray for ongoing collaboration between New Zealand and Kiribati officials to ensure successful project implementation.
Thursday
Give thanks for the local Climate Change Committee members in Papua New Guinea, especially those affected by leprosy who are helping lead change at the community level. Pray that their voices will be heard as they advocate for those most impacted by climate change.
Friday
Give thanks for our valued partnership with the New Zealand Government’s aid programme. May this partnership be strengthened, built on mutual respect, and a shared mission to uplift communities in need in the Pacific.
Saturday
Connecting young people to the Mission’s work is something we do with great joy. As part of the Youth Advocates Scholarship, each year we take a group of university students to learn and witness the Mission work firsthand in Nepal. Please pray for their fundraising effort this year as they advocate for, and bring hope to, those affected by leprosy.

New Zealand
The Leprosy Mission New Zealand (TLMNZ) is deeply grateful for the unwavering love and support of our dedicated community. Our supporters not only sustain our mission through financial and prayerful contributions, but also volunteer their time and advocate for us in churches and community groups. Over 12,000 New Zealanders actively back our efforts, and we strive to engage even more to achieve our global goal of zero leprosy transmission by 2035. Thanks to our supporters’ commitment, we transform lives and bring hope to families affected by leprosy in countries like Bangladesh, Papua New Guinea, Bougainville, DR Congo, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Nepal, and Timor-Leste. TLMNZ collaborates with The New Zealand Aid Programme (Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade), the Autonomous Bougainville Government, NLR (a Dutch leprosy NGO), and local grassroots organisations. Together, we are curing, caring for, and restoring those affected by leprosy to full and healthy lives.
