About Lazarus Momentum

Our mission, team, and calling to bring health and hope to communities around the world.

Our Mission

The mission of Lazarus Momentum is to bring health and hope to people throughout the world by providing medical care, educational opportunities, spiritual awareness, and necessary community improvements. Each outreach mission focuses on a specific country and community or village.

Mission Goals

Establish mobile medical clinics that bring medical care to remote villages.
Build medical clinics throughout communities to restore health.
Build academic and vocational schools to inspire vision.
Improve communities by providing access to life-saving necessities such as clean water.
