Lazarus Rising is an initiative of Toronto area Mennonites and Brethren in Christ responding to homelessness and marginalization in Toronto. It partners with Sanctuary, a downtown Toronto community and church that works at building community among the marginalised and the mainstream.
By walking with the poor on Toronto's streets, Lazarus Rising encounters the Jesus of "the least of these" and puts legs on Menno Simons conviction that "true evangelical faith … clothes the naked, feeds the hungry, comforts the sorrowful, shelters the destitute."
Street pastor Doug Johnson Hatlem leads a walk the third Friday of every month (evening). If you are interested in joining him or learning more please be in touch with Doug at lazarusrising@mennonitecc.on.ca.
