Pray with us
According to the founder of The Leprosy Mission, Wellesley Bailey, the Mission was ‘born and cradled in prayer.' We keep that tradition alive today.
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.
What we are praying for this week:
Organisations of Persons Affected by Leprosy
10–16 Aug
Monday
Please pray for the leaders of these organisations, that they will have the confidence, opportunities, and skills to lead effectively.
Tuesday
We pray today for The Leprosy Mission’s efforts to strengthen these organisations. Please pray for the work of our global-level Task Force, which is working specifically on this issue. May their work be guided both by God and by the organisations they are working with.
Wednesday
In 2025, the third Global Forum of Organisations of Persons Affected by Leprosy was hosted in Indonesia. We pray for the outcomes of that Forum, including the commitments these organisations made and the recommendations they offered to governments and NGOs. May these outcomes lead to real and tangible change in the lives of persons affected by leprosy
Thursday
In a mirroring of The Leprosy Mission’s prayer (see back page), we pray that these organisations may never lack the staff or the means to carry on their work.
Friday
We pray for the work these organisations do as advocates. We pray that decision makers will consider their voices with the seriousness they deserve and will be moved to take action.
Saturday
Today we pray specifically for those Organisations of Persons Affected by Leprosy that are newer and smaller, that they will have an environment in which they can grow and thrive.
Sunday
We pray that these Organisations of Persons Affected by Leprosy will always be a blessing to their members and will have the means and the opportunities to make life better for persons affected by leprosy.
Organisations of Persons Affected by Leprosy
The Leprosy Mission is an organisation that supports people affected by leprosy. We also partner with many representative organisations that are led by and made up of individuals who have experienced leprosy themselves.
Organisations of Persons Affected by Leprosy are the most important partners in our work. They provide crucial insights and access to communities, allowing our work to be more impactful. They are powerful advocates and project implementers. When crises hit, they are a lifeline for their communities, facilitating access to emergency resources, such as finances, food, and lifesaving information.
In the years to come, The Leprosy Mission will be working to strengthen these organisations and our relationship with them, so that they can be best placed to support their members.
