A major area of concern for people living in the global South is the lack of adequate medical care, especially for those living in extreme poverty, the young, the elderly and other vulnerable populations. Lay missioners are engaged in direct patient care, offering a range of services from preventative care to treatment of unique conditions. We also work in health promotion ministries and support local partners in building projects and facilities that will have a long‐lasting, sustainable impact in critically poor communities. Our efforts affect thousands of people each year.
