Peru Missions (1996 / 1997)
The Lazarus Momentum vision began with medical missions to Lima and Iquitos, Peru, led by Sally S. Ball, MD alongside Janet Ferguson, RN; Allan Cougle, MD; and Dianne Harris, RN.
1999 Peru Medical Mission
A return mission to Iquitos served more than 500 adults and children. Aubrey Beck traveled as a volunteer and was so inspired by the trip that she went home and became a registered nurse.
2017 Africa Medical Mission
The first Africa medical mission served 194 children at three orphanages in Masaka, Uganda in November 2017.
2018 Africa Medical Mission
The 2018 mission expanded beyond direct treatment to preventative healthcare initiatives: hand-washing stations, clean water work, latrine cleanliness, duck and goat pens, and trash bins and a Trash Brigade.
2019 Africa Medical Mission
The 2019 mission continued outreach in Masaka and surrounding villages.
2022 Africa Medical Mission
The 2022 mission served Ssenje, Masaka, and remote villages — including Shalome Children's Community and jajjas (elderly people). A citywide medical camp was held with Joy Medical Centre and H-Save Sacco, and teams visited Ku Ssenyange Public Primary School, Kids Care School, and Timothy House Orphanage.
2024 Africa Medical Mission
The month-long 2024 mission spanned Uganda and DRC. Mission Aviation Fellowship flew the team from Kajjansi Airfield. Stops included Nakasongola (Dr. Ibrahim's village and family), Kiwoko Hospital in Lueero for surgical referral relationships, Sanje (the women's group, goats and goat pen, and care baskets for the elderly), Bumogolo Mountain (children treated for intestinal worms from lack of clean water), and remote villages served by Dr. Nicholas.
Bukavu and Walungu, DRC
The DRC leg of the 2024 mission served the Bukavu clinic for abused and abandoned women and children in partnership with My Child and Me and Josette Zahinda — providing transition housing, food, and training. Government-required clinic equipment and supplies were delivered. Dr. Neema Byalungwe Nelly hosted the team and led outreach to Walungu.
2025 Africa Medical Mission
This was a three week mission that served the communities of Masaka and Sanje. Medical care was provided to multiple surrounding villages in Masaka and Sanje both. Additionally, we added another group of Lazarus Ladies with a sewing machine to make Lazarus Dolls and 100 Lazarus Dolls were commissioned by them.
Encouraging and uplifting words from Tanner Ball were given at Cream Hill Secondary School in Masaka, and also to young men and women at a community outreach in Sanje with many committing their lives to Jesus.
