In the words of Wellesley Bailey, one of the founders of The Leprosy Mission, “The Mission was born and cradled in prayer, it has been brought up in prayer, it has been nourished in prayer, and prayer has been at the bottom of its success since the first moments of its life.”

The work you support wouldn’t be possible without the love, hope and healing presence of God. Your prayer can invite the presence of God into this work. As Christians, we’re gospel-focused and Christ-centred. We know we’re dependent on God to supply the many needs of people affected by leprosy. Prayer is a way you can recognise this.

If you would like to commit to praying regularly for people affected by leprosy and The Leprosy Mission, there are a number of resources that are available to assist you as you pray.

National Prayer Weekend 2021

Pray with thousands of other supporters for people affected by leprosy and disability over the last weekend of August 28-29th.

Here are three ways you could participate:

• Retreat by yourself to spend time speaking to God about people  affected by leprosy and to wait in the healing presence of God.
• Gather with some friends or people from your church (or both!) and pray for people affected by leprosy. You may need to do this over Zoom!
• Ask if you could say a prayer for people affected by leprosy on Sunday 29^th August in your church service. Even if it’s over an online service!

ASK 2021 Prayer Diary

The ASK Prayer Diary contains prayers for every week of the year, as well as devotions, country profiles and stories. Weekly prayers invite you to pray for specific needs of the countries that you support, and the needs of countries that are partners in the Global Fellowship.
