Program accomplishments
- MISSION LAZARUS OPERATES THE REFUGE IN HONDURAS, A RESIDENTIAL CHILDREN'S COMMUNITY THAT PROVIDES A SAFE, CHRIST-CENTERED HOME FOR NEGLECTED, ORPHANED, AND VULNERABLE CHILDREN. CHILDREN LIVE IN FAMILY-STYLE HOMES WHERE THEY RECEIVE NUTRITIOUS MEALS, HEALTHCARE, EDUCATION, COUNSELING, AND SPIRITUAL DISCIPLESHIP. THE REFUGE SEEKS TO PREPARE EACH CHILD FOR A PRODUCTIVE, INDEPENDENT ADULTHOOD WHILE PROVIDING THE LOVE, STABILITY, AND OPPORTUNITIES EVERY CHILD DESERVES.Expenses $542,147 · revenue $130,254
- THE HACIENDA SERVES AS MISSION LAZARUS' PRIMARY MINISTRY CAMPUS IN HONDURAS. FROM THIS LOCATION, THE ORGANIZATION OPERATES ITS ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES, WAREHOUSE, PRIVATE SCHOOL, VOCATIONAL TRAINING PROGRAMS, MEDICAL CLINIC, COFFEE FARM, GUEST LODGE, RESTAURANT, AND OTHER COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES. THESE MINISTRIES WORK TOGETHER TO ADDRESS BOTH PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL POVERTY BY PROVIDING EDUCATION, HEALTHCARE, VOCATIONAL TRAINING, EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES, AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT, AND CHRISTIAN DISCIPLESHIP THROUGHOUT SOUTHERN HONDURAS.Expenses $2,711,879 · revenue $267,672
- MISSION LAZARUS OPERATES CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS IN BOTH HONDURAS AND HAITI THAT PROVIDE HIGH-QUALITY EDUCATION TO CHILDREN LIVING IN SOME OF THE REGION'S MOST IMPOVERISHED COMMUNITIES. IN ADDITION TO ACADEMIC INSTRUCTION, STUDENTS RECEIVE NUTRITIOUS MEALS, CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, AND SPIRITUAL FORMATION IN A SAFE AND NURTURING ENVIRONMENT. FOR MANY STUDENTS, THE MEALS PROVIDED AT SCHOOL REPRESENT THE MOST RELIABLE SOURCE OF DAILY NUTRITION, WHILE THE EDUCATION THEY RECEIVE CREATES OPPORTUNITIES TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY.IF POSSIBLE, I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO EXPAND THE "OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES" DESCRIPTION (OR INCLUDE THIS LANGUAGE IN SCHEDULE O, IF THAT IS THE APPROPRIATE LOCATION) TO BETTER REPRESENT THE FULL SCOPE OF OUR MINISTRY. I WOULD SUGGEST SOMETHING ALONG THESE LINES:OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES INCLUDE PRIMARY HEALTHCARE, MOBILE MEDICAL CLINICS, CHURCH PLANTING AND SPIRITUAL FORMATION THROUGH HOUSES OF PEACE, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES, AGRICULTURAL TRAINING, COFFEE PRODUCTION, ARTISAN ENTERPRISES, VOCATIONAL EDUCATION, DISASTER RESPONSE, HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE, AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS IN HONDURAS AND HAITI.Expenses $169,493
