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.

Lord, grant discernment and favour with government officials as they review and repeal discriminatory laws. May we see significant progress in these efforts, paving the way for inclusive legislation and policies that create a more just society.

We pray for your continued healing touch those affected by leprosy. May these advocacy efforts in 2026 bring renewed hope, restored dignity, and a deeper sense of community and belonging for every individual impacted by this disease.
India: Advocacy and Communications
The Advocacy and Communication team partners with other units and projects within The Leprosy Mission Trust India (TLMTI) as well as external stakeholders to develop new ideas and implement information, education and communication campaigns. Through this work they help to build leprosy awareness in endemic areas and among underserved communities.
Specifically, they work closely with the state and central government to repeal discriminatory laws and sensitise duty bearers and the general community on how stigma and discrimination create barriers in achieving a leprosy-free India.
The Advocacy & Communications team represents TLMTI in domestic and international events and contributes thought leadership to discourses and literature on leprosy and other disabilities. They also undertake training programmes on the social causes and consequences of leprosy for individuals and organisations so that we can create an enabling environment for persons affected by leprosy.
