Overview

Mission

With many ways to share the gospel, and just as many opportunities to improve healthcare, our passion is to work at the intersection of these two ideas: where the needs of the body provide a door to the heart. Healthbridge global seeks to do this by restoring dignity to healthcare in areas of the world that have significant needs.

What it reported doing in 2025

Other programs include: we supported an afghan farm project in auburn, California, by providing start up costs. Land was donated to help afghans grow vegetables and herbs they use in their food that are not commonly found in the u.s. Donated funds were used for tools, irrigation, soil amendment, and other miscellaneous launch expenses. We supported the initial steps of building a maternity hopital in pro vita, romania, by donating the funds needed for permitting and license fees as we prepare to break ground.
