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.

About TLM 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, PNG, Bougainville, DR Congo, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Nepal, and Timor-Leste. TLM NZ collaborates with The New Zealand Aid Programme (Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade), the Autonomous Bougainville Government, NLR, and local grassroots organizations. Together, we are curing, caring for, and restoring those affected by leprosy to full and healthy lives.
