Not safe to donate money to this organization or volunteer with them by going to Harvest school or on mission trips. Parents, do not let your children go on international trips with this organization. It is unsafe. They do not properly care for volunteers and have no regard for their safety.

Not a reputable charity at all. Iris is affiliated with Bethel in Redding, CA, and both are harmful and spiritually abusive organizations that do a lot of detrimental harm to the reputation of Christ and Christianity globally. Rolland came out of the Jesus Movement, which seems to be unable to be separated from sexual abuse scandals. The most heartbreaking thing about these 2 organizations (Bethel and Iris) is that when confronted about their wrongdoing, they are unmoved to reform for the sake of the people they were meant to serve. It is truly heartbreaking as the need is so great to provide safe, righteous, and compassionate Christian care in the areas where they work. They have no trouble vilifying and abusing their recipients and justifying it when confronted about organizational issues or wrongdoing. I hope that those burned and abused by this organization will truly get to know Christ as separate from the abuse they have endured at the hands of Bethel and Iris.

What they preach and what we see online is just a tiny tip of the iceberg of the dedication, hard work and commitment constantly going on behind the scenes. They also help and give alms to remote locations that are often overlooked and sometimes even forgotten about because they actually see the value of each human being no matter what tongue, tribe, people or nation they are from. Giving to Iris Global isn’t just donating, it’s investing into an organisation that practices excellent stewardship.

Iris Global is full of incredible missionaries. They are selfless, brave and full of the love of God. I often get to speak with many of the leaders and missionaries and it is always so encouraging. They sometimes have very little resources, but it does not discourage or stop them. They are making differences in the lives of so many.
There is a massive emphasis on raising up locals and empowering them.
I personally love blessing the local missionaries and ones from poor nations as they often live of so little, but still they are so faithful and faith-filled.

I love & honour the work Iris Global does because I’ve consistently seen them go low to firstly seek Jesus, & then to serve others from that same position. That means going low to where the poorest are, and serving and loving them there in more ways than just financial provision. They truly love and would give their lives for those they serve, & that has been consistently demonstrated. Grateful to share in a small part.

We have followed Iris Global from a distance for over twenty years and have always been impressed with their mission to radically love the poor and needy around the world. In 2016, we had the honor to visit their base in Fortaleza, Brazil, and our lives are forever impacted. There we met numerous missionaries who have become dear friends, and has since visited three other bases around the world. We have found every missionary affiliated with Iris Global to be sincere, honest, and simply amazing at what they do. They are the legitimate hands and feet of Christ on the ground in the darkest places of earth, caring for practical needs along with deep spiritual ones. We love you, Iris Global! With deepest thanks for everything you do-- you are known by heaven.

At the head of this organisation are Heidi and Rolland Baker. I have met Heidi in real life, and who she is in secret, is who she is when presenting to the public. I believe she is in her 60's now and Rolland in his 70's, and they still chooses to reside in Mozambique to help the poor and demonstrate the love of Jesus. These things being said, I know that they are honest and genuine about their mission to the poor, and I have no doubt that the children I sponsor are receiving everything that I send to them. This, I'm afraid, can't be said for every charity one can choose to support in this day and age.

My family and I have worked with, learned from, and experienced firsthand the immense impact the Iris Global team. From administration to heartfelt concern and dedication to the training and betterment of all those they come in contact with, the Iris Global team is the standard by which I measure the work done by faith-based non-profits. Wherever they are, the diverse and international team of Iris Global staff and volunteers effectively strive to foster the growth of those they come in contact with; meeting their physical, mental, and most of all spiritual needs. I have nothing but respect and appreciation for all Iris Global does. Without them, I wouldn't be the person I am today.

I hold a high opinion of Iris Global because of their unwavering commitment to making a meaningful impact in the communities they serve. Their comprehensive approach, which combines practical aid with spiritual support, truly addresses the complex needs of vulnerable populations. Their transparency and accountability in operations inspire trust and confidence. This is why I appreciate being able to support the ministry—it's inspiring to see an organization that not only meets immediate needs but also invests in long-term solutions and relationships, ultimately transforming lives and communities for the better.

Iris Global is an incredible non-profit. They serve the poor and broken in many places. They even go where many are too scared to go. They will venture to the most remote places to help those there. Especially after natural disasters.

I had the opportunity to serve with them for 2 months in Southern Africa. They do so much to help all that they can and meet their needs and even exceed those needs.

We signed up for their online missionary course. We are early fifties and based in New Zealand. The Lord spoke to us about the missionary field being right outside our front door, in our businesses etc. We decided to do the missionary course so we can learn from missionaries about spreading the gospel. We acknowledge that we do nothing in our strength and all is done by the Lord through us. And we believe that He uses testimonies of others to help us in our walk with him. It’s been amazing and a real blessing to be able to attend the course and learn so much- both in the great work they do for the Lord but also in our walk with the Lord..

My wife and I attended Iris Global’s Harvest School in 2014 and have been part of Iris ever since. What drew us to Iris Global was their holistic approach to charity and ministry. Preaching the Gospel, feeding the hungry, we’ll drilling, rescuing slaves, disaster relief, food distributions, and much more. They were probably the most affective aid organization during the aftermath of Hurricanes Idai and Kenneth which hit Mozambique a month apart. And they are currently helping feed tens of thousands of internally displaced people in the war zone of northern Mozambique. And they continue to do much all around the world.

Very great full for this organization.

Iris Global invests into people by joining people on their level. They literally invest their lives into their neighbours on the streets, the market place or wherever they meet the broken, poor or lost. They do not care about how society views their counterpart and are not afraid to go to the least. Iris Global not only helps people get physically better but takes a holistic approach which sees many people transformed and restored to become integral memebers of their society again.

Iris Global is the real deal ... serving in areas often overlooked, under-served, forgotten, hopeless. I have been impacted by Iris' culture of 'Stop for the One', and the practical outworking of the fact the LOVE looks like something...Through volunteering with Iris, I have learned how to go 'low and slow', and lower still; giving serving and learning from the poorest of the poor. My time in Mozambique transformed me at a level that's hard to articulate - but which has ruined me for the ordinary. Iris Global is a FAMILY - we share a love that doesn't count the cost, which transcends continents, generations, people groups; love 'with teeth' ~ simply by obediently following Jesus together, looking out for one another and encouraging each other to be fully ourselves, fully filled with Jesus.
What a privilege!

My name is Father Andry, I am a young priest from Madagascar and l'm 34 years old. I was ordained priest on 29 December 2019. Now we have opening a new mission in the north of Madagascar and we opened an university ASJA (ATHENEE SAINT JOSEPH ANTSOHIHY) to help the poor young people to continue their academic formation and to help them to get out of the poverty. For this we have many projects to do both for infrastructures and for school fees. First for the infrastructures we want to build two dormitories (two houses for students), one for boys and one for girls. Second, Among our 280 students we have now, 210 of them fail to pay their tuition during the year. And for this we want to ask help from your association to carry out our mission for the poor and with the poor.
Aside from this, we want to ask for volunteers to teach English in the language department beyond the agronomy and the economy and trade departments. Thanks for your help and cooperation. Father Andry (Priest of the Sacred Heart of Jesus)

My time in the mission's school with Iris Global (South Africa, Mozambique and Jordan) helped shape my understanding of God's movement in different parts of the world. It helped me gain perspective of the poverty many other countries live in, and God's deep concern for the poor. My time at the mission's school also helped me learn about honoring people of other cultures. My time with Iris Global has positively impacted my understanding of the character of God (specifically His care for the poor, and the way he is moving in other countries). I would recommend this experience to every person seeking to understand God and the world better!!

One of the most transforming experiences I’ve ever lived was during my time in Mozambique with the Bakers and the Iris team.

This looks different in different cultures and one of the strengths of those within Iris is the ability to adapt, and to build up and encourage nationals within that nation. They run with love and humility into the darkest places where Jesus is needed the most, to demonstrate his love to people and communities. If you are looking for an organisation that puts love, serving, and joy at the forefront then look no further than Iris Global.

Iris is such a beautiful organization. I went to their harvest school and found such community and family. I learned so much from them about depending on God and stopping for the one. They do this by showing love though feeding the poor, helping the needed and spending time loving the orphans. When I severed with them I was able to do all these things and pray and see the sick healed and people give their lives to Jesus. Jesus is the center of all they do. I’ve been to their Tennessee and Nicaraguan bases but they have bases all over the world that carry the same heart for Jesus.
Here’s a photo of us praying for an elderly Nicaraguan women. They visit this women constantly when they minister in her town because she is all alone. They want to show her she is not alone when she has Jesus. But love also looks like visiting her when they can.

I am always amazed at the operation of Iris Global!!! Spent 2 weeks in Mozambique and seeing happy, healthy kids going to school who once lived on the streets. Parents couldn’t afford them and sold girls as prostitutes as children.

People all over the world send money to help because we know it goes to those desperately in need.

Currently with the atrocities of ISSI in northern Mozambique they have stayed in country to help families that had to abandon their homes due to fighting. Minister, even hug ( inspite of COVID 19), those that have lost so much and saw so much brutality.

Only a supernatural annointing, guidance and grace can lead this fantastic and wonderful, highly dedicated & loving group of people in doing God's best for the unknowns, oppress, poor, neglected, abandoned, orphans and many more. And for this people to know and find the love of Christ, knowing how much God cares for them is mind blowing! I was captivated by their deep loving desire to pull out the best of every person they encounter, bring them back to Jesus & His Kingdom. And how much they adore each precious soul and every child of God. Always Stopping for the One! Iris Global is the best and Mama Heidi & Papa Rolan are such a great blessing in this world and the Kingdom of God! Love you guys and let your deep Love for Christ keeps flowing in this generation and many more generations to come! In God Alone We Trust this World...

Iris Global is an amazing organization that truly seeks to meet people’s needs, both physical and spiritual. I have had the honor to travel to one of their bases seven different times. I have seen first hand how they work to not only bring the gospel to that nation but to also feed, educate and build communities to bring them out of poverty. I have also been honored to support a child through their Stop for the One ministry.

I wasn't sure what to expect but I was hungry to know God more deeply so I signed up for the course. I was not disappointed. Through the most genuine testimonies and teaching from the heart of the speakers I found what I was needing, confirmation of what the Lord had been speaking to me and fellowship with brothers and sisters from around the world. I was at home with my family in the Lord. Wonderful! Thanks everyone for humbling yourselves and just being real. I love you all.

I have been attending the Supernatural Missions Training course since June 8, 2020 every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. We still have 2 extra sessions which were added to the original course time frame. I can't say enough about the training over these past weeks. The wisdom of these leaders that love our Lord will all of their heart, soul, mind, and strength is just priceless. Each gave a little piece of themselves to the over 400 students from around the world. I am walking away with a delicious piece of each teacher. Our moderator, Will Hart, is totally on fire for our Lord and only desires that us, the students, are touched by our Lord thru the teachings of each of these leaders that our Lord has raised up. We spent a glorious amount of time in worship prior to each lesson and that in itself was blessed beyond words by our Lord.

Iris global is such an incredible organization. There is a level of excellence that the entire organization works within. You aren’t just serving with an organization but becoming part of a family when you partner or serve with Iris. From the founders to new students within the schools you can see the DNA of “stop for the one” and “love looks like something”. When you serve with Iris you know that there is integrity and love in everything you do and that you are actually doing something that will change the world.

I've been to 3 Iris bases, and each is characterised strongly by a sense of welcoming, love, family, and a 'can do!' attitude.

I was with Iris Global in Mozambique the summer of 2013, and the majority of the people who make up this organization are among the most - if not the most - passionate, loving, happy, giving, self-sacrificing folks I've ever known in my life. Their joy is contagious, their willingness to suffer for the sake of the poor and broken convicting and moving, and their zeal for Jesus surprising. If there were anything not glowing I would write (which is hard to do, but I want to be forthright), the leadership structure is very top-down with the Bakers being the decision-makers. Like all top-down structures, decisions are made quickly and so good things happen fast, but also disorganized or less than perfect decisions can be made quickly, too. I learned patience and submissiveness. I have one theological disagreement with the organization regarding its interpretation of women's roles in the Church in 1 Timothy (Heidi Baker is more or less the leader of the organization and at times even seemed she ran the church in Pemba), and one regarding speaking in tongues in 1 Corinthians (they believe it can and should be done all at once in a service, and provided us with very little caution about abuse of the gifts while there) but I can honestly say that besides those two things, I am in total agreement with everything else they stand for. I'm actually astounded by how I agree with them on almost everything else. You will be hard pressed to find a more genuine, loving group in the entire world and certainly over the course of your life.

Iris is less of an organization and more of a tribe of people who have dedicated themselves to laying down their lives selflessly for those in greatest need around the planet. It would be impossible to track how many lives have been transformed by this non-profit and the accomplishments can only be described as miraculous; because such results - from feeding vast numbers of people, building top-performing schools, starting clinics, rescuing people from slavery, taking in orphans, training widows in business skills, to reaching the remotest tribes, providing wells, rebuilding houses, healing the blind, giving dignity to the abused and abandoned, and empowering people to take on new jobs and responsibilities - would be impossible if it were not for a total reliance on Jesus Christ. Iris maintains a commitment to serve communities not from a position of knowing it all, but always going "lower still" in serving and honoring indigenous peoples and calling out the innate greatness in every nation they operate in.

I can't say enough about Iris global I personally attended there leadership school in Central Coast of California.. I will glean from all I learned for the rest of my life. The teaching is biblical and spot on. I absolutely love the leadership of this school they know how to build community and truly be spiritual fathers and mothers...

Ever since I discovered Iris during a relief mission to Japan in 2011, I've been impressed by their love and commitment to making the world a better place in big and small ways. Every person they serve finds themselves touched deep in their spirits and hope is awakened, in a way that most humanitarian agencies which serve physical needs cannot. I've visited a number of their bases and found orphans and children who were born severely disadvantaged, now living as sons and daughters with hope and a future.

Iris has helped me advance and further my leadership skills and propelled me into my destiny, while stopping for and loving the one in front of me in all walks of life through their leader school in Pismo Beach as well as their Iris Hollywood artist boot camp! Iris truly is an organization that believes that love looks like something and teaches others what it looks like and how to multiply it and give it away from the poorest of the poor to the richest of the rich! Iris helped me to learn what it means to go low and slow, how to have selfless ambitions and helped fine tune my character to be able to walk in the fullness of what God has for me to continue to

This organization is one of the most accepting and loving places I've worked with. You immediately feel like family when you arrive. The atmosphere they foster is unlike any I have seen. They truly put Jesus as the forefront of their work and do nothing until they've sought his face and he responds. Yet they accomplish more than humanly possible because with Jesus nothing is impossible. He's great. I love Him.

Iris is an amazing organization. I've never seen any other nonprofit like it. They take love to another level. They also look at people as people rather than a project to be accomplished. Each person is cared for practically, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Really a wholistic support system. And they are so humble from the top down. The leaders are very honoring and treat the poor the same way they would treat a queen. This is by far my favorite non profit organization. What better gift is there to give but love, and they do this so well!

I have read the book "Birthing The Miraculous" by Heidi Baker of Iris Ministries and discovered the beautiful secret to this outreach: Taking time to feel the love of God, and then letting Him give love through themselves to others. They specifically reached out to the "throwaway" children, orphans who had to beg and sell themselves to eat, and now these adult children are, 20 years later, the most desirable, educated workers in the country. I believe they feed daily more than 1,000 orphans, and school them. in an incredibly short period of time churches over 10,000 in number have been established in village after village. Through stonings, beatings, life threatening diseases like Malaria, false slander, hunger, cold, homelessness, arrests for no crime, injustices, Roland and Heidi Baker have been bringing forth wonderful "diamonds in the rough" out of the dirt, out of villages built at the sites of the garbage dumps. The people there learn the truth of their worth as creations of God and desired by God, which makes them aware of their beauty. They have grown to be young men and women able to work and they do wonderful things. They are sought after as top workers in their country. They have become a stable base of citizens. Colleges and university have been established through Iris Ministries, schools for the young orphaned children, food for all the orphans, AIDS children cared for. Iris has returned love upon love to all who misunderstood the true goodness of heart, the good motives behind this ministry. This ministry is a mega accomplishment in a country in the aftermath of war and recurring natural disasters and the successes really only could have been accomplished by miracle interventions and mercies of God in addition to the lay-down-their-life devotion of those of Iris Ministries.

Iris' work with the poor of Mozambique is literally changing a nation. Orphans are being given a home, family and education and finding that they are no-longer orphans but children with a hope and a future. Widows are looked after, business start-ups are funded and supported, schools built and staffed, medical centres and hospitals are rising out of hopeless situations to serve these precious people. Farms are springing up which feed multitudes. And on and on and on the list goes.
If Christianity was ever meant to be anything it is this, love in action.

My wife and I and our infant son volunteered in the summer of 2005 with Iris in Pemba, Mozambique. Although the conditions were challenging (my son briefly caught malaria), work that the Iris staff was doing was extraordinary. We were able to see the positive transformation of the people and the communities there unfolding before our eyes, with the humble service of the Iris people making this possible. As I have followed and financially supported Iris Ministries in the years since (with my wife volunteering for a few weeks in Pemba several years later), I have been impressed with their great commitment to the well-being of the poor. What began as a primary spiritual/religious endeavor in Mozambique (which I wholeheartedly endorse), has retained those spiritual strengths while becoming a full orbed expression of sustainable, holistic transformation of communities. This including their relief work, provision of wells for clean water, training in skills for micro business, formation of schools accessible to the poor, and more. Now government officials at local and national levels are recognizing the excellent educational and humanitarian work that Iris has been doing.

A week ago, I came back from my 4th visit to the Pemba Mozambique Base of Iris, in 16 months.
Whilst I was there, a severe cyclone hit the area, with devastating consequences, to the local people. But, Heidi and Rolland didn't waste time. They sent us out into the local villages, to invite the villagers to a Party. There was joyful dancing and singing, a short viewing of the Jesus Film, and then the fun began: large platefuls of spaghetti and tuna, with a dollop of mayonnaise, and cold drink was handed out. Such a demonstration of the Father's heart, abundance.
The widows were invited, with their little kiddies, to sleep in the large shed like structure used for church meetings, and were given food, daily.
I saw Iris people pouring out their lives, to help the villagers who had lost everything, I am so humbled by their example. As volunteers, we were invited to join in, so graciously.
My friend and I were also able to visit people of another faith, tell our stories, and us hear theirs, and pray with these lovely people, what a privilege.
I also did medical volunteer work: what I loved was that the motto is 'stop for the one': I was able to engage in a medical capacity, but also, to take time out to take the people I was treating, to the beach, for a cold drink, and swim for the first time, for them, in the sea: this is an indelible memory, the joy, the fun: Iris is about relationship, I SO appreciate this aspect.
I reflect on my 17 days, I have learnt that the poor know how to give, and to serve, in a way that I have not begun to comprehend, but, I want to learn.
As Mama Heidi says, it's 'low and slow'.
I am so so grateful that Heidi and Rolland have allowed us to be involved in their Charity, I am grateful, and so Humbled.

Just got back from 2 and 1/2 weeks with Iris Ministeries in Pemba Mozambique. I am trying not to be speechless! This is my 3 rd visit. I'm learning from the most precious group of people in the world, what love looks like. I learnt, get your love on, before you serve, and if your love isn't on, go find God, drench yourself in Him and His love, and then come and serve. Serving has never been so easy, truly and honestly. I've also learnt, that when we all share, there is always enough and more, for everyone. There was a GTM (Global Team Meeting of Iris leaders from around the world): wow, I looked at this Iris family, and thought, this is what heaven must look like. I saw people who carry the Iris DNA of love, unconditional, uncomplicated LOVE. The more I get to know the Iris organization, and the people who are part of it, the more I realise, these are ordinary people, loving with extra- ordinary love. I've tried to put my thoughts in words, but, they are so inadequate.

Iris Global is not only the best aid organization I know, but the best organization whatsoever. They combine fantastic development assistance with a strong belief in the power of the Holy Spirit. They're not afraid to preach about the love of Jesus while they help the poor and dying.

Being a student of peace and development studies at Uppsala University, I am aware of the complexities of development assistance and I'm glad to see that Iris Global also share this awareness and take their challenges seriously. Being a deeply religious organization they can handle issues that secular organizations are unable of - which is a big deal in the developing world where religion generally plays a massive role in society.

I've visited Iris South Africa and I saw some amazing projects to lift people, especially children, out of poverty. I also witnessed people get healed miraculously and even interviewed a man who had been raised from the dead. Heaven and earth came together and I was amazed by the faith and commitment that the people at Iris had.

Several years ago one of my sons was involved with Iris ministries in Mozambique. I didn't know about Iris, so I thought I would go over and find out firsthand about them and what they were up to.

As I visited with my son, I decided to help volunteer and found the children they were helping were developing a deep passion for Christ. This organization is trusting God for resources to help people that would otherwise be begging for food or living as homeless people in a gutter.

I personally have watched them from a distance over the years and have seen them, through God's help transform lives in the 1000's. They have my stamp of approval and blessing as an individual who has been there, seen what they are doing, and knows firsthand from my experience about how the favor of God is all over the organization.

I volunteered with this organization at the Pemba, Mozambique base for 3 weeks in July 2012. The staff were extremely hospitable and professional. I felt well cared for and grew a lot from that experience, where I got to do a variety of projects from passing out lunch to street children and making jewelry with widows to reaching out to disenfranchised in hospitals, prisons and rural villages. During bush outreaches, Iris sought to truly communicate with local leaders and respect their customs. The model of short-term volunteers donating what they feel led to is quite unique and gives individuals of different socio-economic levels opportunities to serve. Iris does such great work with integrity and excellence!

Iris Global is the most amazing organization I have ever come in contact with. Each person I have met in the organization lives out the values of selflessness, love, and joy. Life as I know it has been radically altered since the first day I came in contact with Iris. I am now aware of the possibility of everyone I meet being impacted by the power of love.

There are few people in my life who I have not shared Iris with. As a result, many of my closest friends and relatives have given their summers to orphans in Mozambique or emptied their checking account to support those who need it most. People who are involved in this organization know that the money being given to help the hurting and hungry is not directed towards the 'other things' that so commonly get the majority of funds in many non-profits. The lion's share of what is given goes towards feeding the people we have in mind when we open our hearts and give of ourselves.

This is why I support Iris Ministries. They are the real deal, and I will always support them.

Their passion to "stop for the one" and express love, compassion, and servitude to orphans, the poor, and entirely isolated villages is more than inspiring - it's life-changing. They serve with such joy and gratitude for nothing more than the privilege to serve and show value to the unloved. Heidi and Roland have set a precedent for missions work that I am thrilled to see many others following. I hope to see many more "Roland and Heidi's," and many more "Iris's" happen across the globe!

I got turned on to Iris Ministries several years ago when I got invited to hear Heidi Baker speak. As I listened, I was in awe of the love Heidi exudes from her life and the selfless love she pours out to others. It doesn't matter what they look like or smell like, she loves all the same. It had been a real challenge for me because I have been serving the Lord for over 30 years and my life looked nothing like what Jesus said it was supposed to. I was stuck in the church for so long I had no idea what the bride was supposed to be doing or saying to the lost. My eyes have been being opened the last several years as I follow Heidi on Youtube, (thank God for Youtube). My life has been stretched, challenged and I'm now doing what the church has been called to do. I am soooo grateful for this ministry. It has caused me to set my sights higher than I could ever imagine. And soon I too will be raising the dead too...as well as healing, delivering, and ministering to all I come in contact with. I am now involved in homeless ministry and I love what Papa God is doing in me.

I have been an on looker for the past 4 years and inspired by this ministry, to stop for the one in my region. The area I am in is north Louisiana. With churches on every corner it pains me to say very few of see the miricale of the one in front of us. I was personally touched by someone who had gone to iris school of ministry in Africa in 2010. I want to thank you for imparting this message to me now. Because you guys have made the love of Jesus real, I am free. I continue to on look but now thru a different set of eyes.

I have listened to both Heidi and Roland Baker in conferences, sharing their hearts about the orphans in Mozambique. I have also read their book, Always Enough. My heart has been so moved by their extreme passion, dedication and abandonment of all Western comfort to go out and find the one. They carry that true spirit of adoption, taking in children from the city dump as their own. They are also transforming the country around them, as they teach the children to minister the gospel, pray for miracles, and see them happen. I could not be more excited and challenged by any ministry. One day I hope to visit their ministry base in Pemba. I would love for my entire family to visit and to see this ministry of love in action. I would recommend it to anyone. It is a wonderful model of the love of Christ in action with a huge harvest of fruit. God Bless you Heidi and Roland.

I do not personally know of an organization that has impacted more lives in a tangible & life-giving way than Iris Global.
The genuine compassion and never ending drive to help the poorest of the poor is an inspiration to all who know of them. They lovingly serve the ones that many organizations pass over because they seem beyond help and the cost would be to great. The leaders of Iris risk their lives on a regular basis in order to help others.
Words can't paint the true picture of the expression on the faces when the name Heidi & Rolland Baker comes up in conversation, but its a look of great honor and love, with deep respect and awe for the lives the example and the nations they effect. They are selfless and give fro a pure heart and laid down life.
Additionally, I have known countless people who have given up all of the comforts we enjoy & take for granted in our daily lives, in order to serve in this organization because they know they are truly saving lives and restoring people, on heart at a time. Continually inspired by this amazing family.

Hello! I attended the Harvest Mission school (HS13) run by Iris Ministries in Pemba, Mozambique October - December 2010. Iris Ministries and the staff running the school were great examples of how to love and care for the poor. I was impressed by the time and care taken to feed, clothe and teach people who otherwise would not have these things. But I was most touched by the deep love that Iris Ministries had for each person they came into contact with. I was also impressed by their acceptance of volunteers from all different countries and the learning journey that we were all on in a new and challenging environment.
The seeds that were planted in my life personally, and the lives of others in Mozambique, both the Mozambicans and the volunteers, are of eternal value. I am still reaping from what was sown, as I am sure all who have had the privilege of being in Pemba are.
Jesus and His love for the world is the centre of all this organisation does. I would recommend to anyone to donate their time, finances and hearts to Jesus through this organisation.....and go Pemba to experience this first hand.

I first heard about Heidi Baker and Iris Ministries three years ago just after being baptized. Not knowing anything about God I was amazed to see how someone who knew Him so intimately loved and served people just because she loves God.

I thank you guys for teaching and doing revival, for teaching and doing laying down our lives, for really teaching and doing Luke 14:25-35. I thank you, Heidi, for going to conferences and teaching and preaching about laying down our lives. I can't wait till we get it and run with it in America and other places in the world. I thank you that you're honest and teach the truth about what you know, like when you teach about how there really is a dying to self and such, and how you teach about going low and going slow. I can't wait till we really get that and widely with all of us together. I know even that phrase has helped me a lot, in this mysterious walk we're all in. I thank you all how you show us how it's done, what it looks like to lay our lives down for the dying. I can't wait till were doing this in our neighborhoods and cities in America and in the world. I thank you how you also show us how free and joyous and peaceful it can be when we really lay our lives down. Thank you guys for showing us what it looks like!

I heard Heidi Baker speak at a tent revival in Moravian Falls, NC. Her passion for the lost and poverty-stricken brought me to tears. Her stories of miraculous provision in the execution of her faith-filled mission changed my life. Her matter-of-fact approach to relationship with Christ was challenging in it's sincerity and reality. She is truly one of the great evangelists of our generation: above reproach and fruitful for the Kingdom.

I served at Iris Global at their base in Pemba, Mozambique for 2 1/2 months. My experience there was something I will never forget. I got to see first hand all the work that goes into this organization by people who are pouring out their lives for the sake of love. Every day I got to eat with the local village people in the kitchen where Iris provided free meals for the poor. I saw many poor people get fed. I saw many orphans who now have a home. I saw hurting and desperate people being cared for in the free health clinic. Iris Global is definitely making a difference in the lives of many people, not only in Mozambique, but throughout the world. It was an honor and a privilege to serve with such an amazing organization and I look forward to serving with them again in the future!

From the time I was a little girl, missionaries were my favorite speakers at our church. I loved their stories of whacking their way through the jungle to bring the gospel to a faraway tribe. In this time in history Heidi Baker has become my hero (though she would hate being called that!). It thrills me to hear her share the stories of children she's rescued, the power of their prayers and the miracles that God performs through her and the people she works with, they never get old! I've heard or read some of them several times and they just make me want to jump in there and be all that God wants me to be too.

Gods LOVE is pouring out through this ministry to poor on earth, to poor in the soul, to poor in the spirit. When celebrating my 60th birthday I had asked for gifts to this ministry and sent it. Later on my dying husband allowed me to go to a women's conference where Heidi ministered. The first meeting began with her inviting all women with desperate needs to come for intersession. I RAN to the front! kneeled down and some one came and asked what to pray for. When she started praying I was shaken by the cry coming from deep inside. After a while Heidi came to me and like the mother she is hugging me and nanning me warmly and poured out Gods LOVE on me. Oooooooh that burning LOVE so many people are in need of!!!

The first time I saw Heidi Baker in person, I was moved to the core of my being! She began her time of ministry on her knees, worshiping God. From that time on, I have read all her books, read many of the monthly news letters, looked at pictures of what they are doing, and listened to her messages on YouTube. Iris is doing an awesome work in Mozambique and many other countries because they are totally surrendered to God! Testimonies of signs, wonders, and miracles are constantly coming in. They bring practical as well as spiritual help everywhere they go. They go places that are hard to reach and not pleasant. They feed, clothe, educate, and love the poorest of the poor. They also bring miracles of healing in many forms as well as provide medical care. Their Miezl model of village ministry is awesome! This ministry is well worth supporting!

After spending a summer at the Iris base in Pemba Mozambique, I have to say that the love of God and the power of Holy Spirit are there in full.

I come from a very traditional background in Christianity, I didn't really have a clue what I was going to find and yet I was hungry for God and I could see God had opened the doors for me to go. Looking back, WOW, to say that I was transformed in so many ways seems like an understatement. What I experienced in my own heart and what I saw like never before was the genuine joy that knowing Jesus brings, the ultimate sacrifices of lives well lived for Christ, completely practical ministries that are filled with hope and love and tangible miracles showing God's love, all in the name of our precious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. What I experienced at Harvest School was incredible. Iris demonstrated to me like never before that Jesus is alive and moving in our world today He is a God of great freedom, awesome power, and perfect honor.

This movement and ministry is an avalanche of God's Kingdom coming to earth in compassionate force. Iris values people the way Jesus does, giving freedom and yet always with honor. Everywhere one looks, the tangible evidences of Christlike love are what is seen on a daily basis. To be immersed in such a practical, life changing, and world impacting mission is a privilege I will always hold dear. It built a greater hunger in me for more of Jesus, more of His love in my own heart. I love this. Iris is more of a family than a ministry, they are a family of laid down lovers of Jesus.

The humility of the leadership is an aspect that astounds me. It is not about them, it is not about their ministry, it isn't about the place they are or the places they go... it is ALL ABOUT JESUS!! They are the first to affirm this reality and the first to live it out on a daily basis in the community around them. I can't emphasize this enough, God is glorified He is exalted and His power is real and living and loving and the leadership are the first to demonstrate this.

As a whole I think that Iris is like a launching pad where the Love of Jesus is spread forth, dramatically impacting the world whenever and wherever His children choose to rest in Him. When you're resting in Christ it's most natural to "stop for the one." We stop and open our hearts as Jesus steps in the situation. And He always does what He does best, Love them to life.

What is happening in Iris, the huge revival spanning the globe isn't rocket science it is as basic as it gets. The essence of Christianity.
Radical obedience to Jesus Christ no matter the cost to us.

Taking the Word, they live it, this is Iris!

We all have the privilege to join this growing Iris family - lovingly prayerfully financially.
Whatever you sow into this ministry will reap great rewards in the Kingdom and your life will be impacted forever.

God bless you whoever you are reading this!!

May God give you the eyes to see, the heart to feel, the hands to reach, the spirit to believe, the mouth to pray and the feet to follow always follow the One Who Is Love! :)

Iris Global is a ministry that encompasses the message of the Gospel all over the world. They love the poor and show the love of Jesus to every person. It has personally changed my life and called me to a higher,yet lower still, standard as a follower of Christ.

I love iris ministries! They truly take the gospel to the poor of this world. They love and care for each one they meet, and do an amazing job of meeting basic needs in the poorest of countries. Much of their ministry is devoted to serving orphans around the world in the poorest places, meeting their needs in every way imagainable.

I have visited their compound in Pemba, Mozambique. It is one of the most spiritually beautiful places in the whole world. God's presence is very thick. They feed, house and educate hundreds of orphans there. They have a program to help widows learn how to provide for themselves and their families. They also give them food. They invest into communities, dig wells for fresh water, build homes, churches etc. They have healing times, where they pray for all to receive healing.

It is my opinion that Iris is one of the most effective and beautiful ministries in the world. I support them 100%. They make love real to the people and communities they serve. They are endless in their relief efforts.

Iris Ministry has impacted my personal life in many ways. It gave me a greater revelation of what it means to love like Jesus. It showed me that action speaks louder than words. It inspired me to think that few people full of God and Faith can accomplish much. It made me stop for the poorer. It stretched my faith to believe for more of Heaven on earth.

Iris Ministries, to my knowledge, has never turned away a starving, dying child. They continue to work in the most remote and desperate situations because thier faith in God. They have been though droughts, famines, floods, disease-stricken areas, to name a few of the hardships. More help is always needed, but they don't ask for money because they trust God will provide. God's love and power are poured out from among them. Deaf ears are opened. Blind eyes see by the grace of God. Miracles are the normal Christian life. Many are joining them in the mission field, but still the harvesters are few. They need trained workers and those with a big heart for the poor.
There are several books written by the Bakers on their life in missions. ALWAYS ENOUGH desribes the supernatural ways God provides for His children. In another book, COMPELLED BY LOVE, Heidi shares her motivation and desires to share the Gospel with the unreached people groups. EXPECTING MIRACLES is an in-depth look into our faithful God is bigger than any problem.

I have close friends who have been volunteers on the ground at the ministry base in Mozambique who came back absolutely amazed and changed. Wanting to give their lives to service to God. They saw how the kids were loved and served. Knowing the wonderful work Iris Ministries is doing in Africa and around the world, I am honored to write a review of how this ministry goes above and beyond the call of duty in taking care of those little ones and the ministry of healing it brings to people worldwide. I do look forward to being on a trip to you Mozambique headquarters one day. Wanted to go with Matt last year but it did not work out. Perhaps next year, I can be of service.

On a more personal note, about 4 months before I traveled as a missionary to China in 2008, Heidi Baker (co-founder of Iris) was ministering at a Matt Sorger conference in Long Island, which God had told me to attend to see her. Well I had no idea she would do an alter call for all those called to missionary life (well we all are but you know what I mean), I was shocked but knew that's how our Dad works. Well we received powerful prayer and I knew I was ready for what I was to face. Like Heidi, and before her, Gladys Aylward, who are called to China to care for orphans in the early part of the 1900's, "I'm just a little woman." But God seeks only willing and yielded vessels through whom He can work mightily. Being on the field is incomparable and where we see God move powerfully through us to others and on our behalf. Some of this experience I have written about in my book "Walking in Fulfillment of Prophetic Revelation: The Naturally Supernatural Life." The experience was like none other and God was with me all the way. God enlarged my heart and created ways for me to minister to my students as only He could. I came face to face with my humanity and for some reason during all of my visits back God makes me more and more like His Son the Ultimate Servant.

So although I do not have contact, I do feel as if Heidi is in a way a spiritual mother that God used to minister to me powerfully before I went to teach at that secular university in 2008 as His representative. Impartation from this yielded servant of God who selflessly gives of herself with her husband Roland is so crucial today.

I remember the first time I had the opportunity to hear Heide at Bethel Church in Redding, Ca. WOW!!! I was totally blown away by her abandonment to the things of this world in her desire to follow the Voice of The Lord! What an example of listening for and then following His Voice! When I watched the film, "Mama Heidi", I was even more blessed as I watched the love pour out of her toward the children.

We also had the privilege of being at Bethel when Roland ministered after coming through a very difficult health battle. The Lord touched everyone Roland laid his hand on. Pretty awesome!

This ministry exemplifies what it means to be "non-profit"!

Iris Ministries is the most incredible vehicle reaching the heart of nations with life giving aid both physically and spiritually. I have been in the presence of Rolland and Heidi Baker as they have ministered encouragement and inspiration to love those in need from the greatest to the least. They are always giving their best in all things their hands lay hold of. My husband is currently a peer with Rolland as they both pursue obtaining their doctoral degree to be better equipped to fulfill the call of God on their lives. I look forward to travel to their home and work by Heidi's side as she ministers everything the children under her care have need of, trusting in God's provision 24/7. If you are interested in experiencing God's Kingdom here on earth this is a ministry and couple you must make a priority to be intertwined with. Their hope is in God alone to supply their needs physically, spiritually, emotionally through the power and authority of Holy Spirit, given by Father God to empower His Church to be the Church, making disciples of all nations. Their time is now.

It's not just a one shot deal, they want to impact the person for life. They are impacting nation after nation, one person at a time. They have a tangible presence in Africa and Asia and have made a deep impact on people world-wide.

I first learned about Iris nearly a decade ago. My brother has been to their base in Africa to help out for a short time. One of my good friends has been volunteering there for over 7 years.

Iris is led by people who practice giving their lives daily to serve the one person in front of them at that moment; and they serve thousands each week.
From feeding children, to drilling wells for drinking water, to education, Iris provides essential services to people in desperate need.

Heidi has been my role-model since 2008, when I first heard about her. Her love for people and especially children is to be admired. What draws me to her the most is her understanding of sonship and her sharing of this with everyone, changing people with orphan hearts to a people who understand who they are in Christ. I truly admire Iris Ministeries selfless effort they have put into the Children of Mozambique, adopting continuously the homeless babies and children abandonned by parents who are unable to care for them because of poverty, AIDs, or death. Iris Ministeries is to be admired mostly because they haven't just taken care of these children or fostered them but have adopted them as their own, giving them a sense of belonging, something other orphans would never understand.

In the world today there are so many calls for action, so many voices crying out in the wilderness. There are so many well meaning people that are doing their best to save animals from extinction, trying to make sure that a listed building isn't pulled down, stopping oil drilling in the Arctic, but to name a few, however no matter now laudable & worthwhile such projects are there are still, I my opinion, a much higher calling. I speak of human beings - their welfare in all it's shades and colours. For example, the need for clean fresh water, food, shelter, education and safety. It is my belief that Heidi & Roland Baker & their teem of Iris Ministries are an excellent example of alleviating human suffering. This is all well and good, yet Iris Ministries and their team go just a few steps further than putting bread in people's mouths people are healed from all sorts of sicknesses & diseases & as a consequence they are able to work once again in the community - great pain and emotional/psychical spiritual suffering is relieved. Yet, Iris Ministries takes it one step further - the people get to know their saviour Jesus Christ. Children, precious children are healed, saved, care for, have a home, education, clothing and the nation, as well as the future of the nation is transformed.
Iris staff pour out the love of Christ into a nation, they sacrifice their own lives for Kingdom purposes. I personally support the work in Madagascar where a young woman does sterling work rescuing babies. Yes, try to rescue the Monk Seal, the Blue Whale, all great stuff, but rescuing little human babies from Dumpsters is a high calling indeed. I cannot recommend this ministry of Iris more highly. I only wish that I could do more, perhaps one day I will be given the opportunity too.....

I follow Heidi and Roland as they minister around the world and tell others about their sweet, sweet family in Mozambique. What a precious outpouring of the Father's Love they give to the peoples and tribes of that region, telling the wonderful story of our Savior and what He did for them. They tell their love story of Jesus and minister to those who have never heard the Message of Peace and Joy, Mercy and Grace, and Love everlasting. I try to help Iris Ministries in any way I can, because I know that I am sowing into a ministry that is bringing the lost of the world to the Father and ministering to orphaned children and tribes of people who have never heard about their Savior. I love Heidi and Roland Baker and continually pray that they are able to continue to minister and reach the lost for Christ.

I wrote an essay for university on Mozambique and its history and it was tragic. For many years the place was cursed and in civil warfare and poverty. Rolland and Heidi Baker have come in and through dedication have seen whole communities and individuals including thousands of orphans transformed forever and countless miracles along the way from food multiplication to people raised from the dead to glory clouds. Mozambique is now blessed, one life changed at a time and generations more to benefit. As well as that, they have a worldwide service to the church and bless thousands around the world on different continents too.

3 months at the Harvest School of Missions and I returned with a new heart, and a mind that was broken to the ways of the world. It will undo you and remould you. You will never fit in again - you were made to stand out. It will shift your priorities so that your heart contains more of the King's domain and rule. You will learn to love; to go low and slow. You will carry His heart.

It was a true honour to walk alongside them for a few months, and learn of the intentional pursuit of their hearts for the MORE, and the complete abandonment and obedience to the call of God on their lives.

Not everyone is Heidi Baker - we all have our different regions that God has called us to - but everyone can learn about the simplicity of the heart of a child, and how to be dependent on Daddy God through how she lives.

I am so thankful for the experience I had at her school, the hungry people I met, the relationships made, and the culture of dependency on God that I learnt.

I won't ever be the same!

A few years ago I read a biographical sketch about Heidi Baker and was fascinated by the encounters with Jesus she had, her hunger and love for His presence and the resulting impact of her ministry. This fascination has only grown. Two years ago I played Tennis with a girl, after the game she told she had been in a wheelchair for 5 years and there was nothing the doctors could do. After Heidi simply hugged her she could walk again. How amazing is that? Lives like hers that have been radically touched by love are countless and growing ;-)

Iris Global is love on legs....to the poorest of the poor, bringing what love looks like, it's not about guesswork or failed development projects it's starting with going low and slow and really listening and understanding first, the thing is, often it's not just about food, or orphans having a home, or medical help, Iris works in all these areas, but sometimes people need a breakthrough miracle and encounter with love because that's what a person needs, He's called Jesus, and it's ground zero....when I went with an Iris team and prayed for a woman so sick she was ready to return to her village to die, she needed a miracle where no doctor had a solution, that's what love looked like for her, and Jesus healed her.

I have been to Iris orphanage in Zimpeto and Michael's Children's village in south Africa. I have been very blessed to meet the missionaries and the children. The missionaries minister tirelessly to the people and children and give all they've got. Iris is such a HUGE blessing and I didn't realize how much they do. When the kids turn 18 yrs old at Zimpeto and have to leave the orphange, Iris doesn't put them out on the streets. But, they build a small home for them and teach them how to get a job. Now, that is dedication and love! All the children feel the love of Jesus through the missionaires and volunteers. This is one of the finest programs I have ever seen! Thank you Iris for letting me be a part of you! I've seen Heidi at a couple of conferences here in the states and she is genuinely in love with Jesus and the kids who are "the least of these".

The first time I met Heidi, I saw immediately what a personal, intimate relationship with Almighty God looked like. I saw love for my Savior and from Him all over her, in her countenance, in her conversation toward us and toward Him. I heard and understood through her testimony that through a yielded life God can do anything. Meeting Heidi and learning of her and Roland's work in Mozambique moved me from a watching relationship with the Lord to a place of participation with Him as I more and more surrender my life to Him and let Him do through me what He pleases. That's just one life affected here in the US. Look at the lives of those without hope she is lifting to the love of God. Look at what is happening in Mozambique alone. Partnering with this ministry and supporting it in everyway is a very excellent thing.

I have been impacted by this ministry in more ways than I can tell here. At the age of 17 after reading Heidi and Rolland's book, There's Always Enough, my life was never the same. I had previously been called to missions, but after reading the book I fully understood what it meant to fully give my life to Jesus and to serve the poor as His hands and feet. I was wrecked by His overwhelming love for me, and I was compelled to go forth as He commanded. I have listened to countless recordings of Heidi and Rolland's sermons, and they've all urged me on in my walk with the Lord to go deeper in Him and to reach more for Him. I've read all their books and attended several conferences, all of which do nothing but lift up the worthy One, Jesus, and encourage me to follow the Lamb and to give my all to Him. No one single ministry has impacted my life as much as Iris Ministries has. Thank God for them, and may they be blessed beyond compare.
My husband (at the time he was my boyfriend) attended the Harvest School in Pemba in 2010. I will let him write his own review, but I would like to say he came back to the states a completely different person for the glory of God. I feel I can safely say that no other ministry has impacted his life so greatly.
We would love one day to work with them long term when it's the Lord's timing.
Iris Global has changed the face of missions around the world. They are making one of the biggest impacts globally of any ministry I know.

From Heidi's own intimate testimony of God's faithfulness and beauty, I have come to know Him who loves me as my Papa. Walking with Him and abandoning myself so that He might love others through me, has given me life that know man can take away. There is no fear in perfect love. The impact of Iris' faithfulness to God's call is infectious and has changed me and so many others doing the will of God. Thank you and God bless you.

Iris Global is an organization that is rooted in the love of Jesus, His heart and a desire to proclaim the Gospel. From this basis, serving people in Mozambique has grown to encompass orphan care, schooling, basic needs of food and shelter, medical needs and growing and empowering leaders from the area. All of this remains rooted in evangelism and Jesus Christ's love, servant hood and Salvation. Along the way, miracles and signs and wonders occur.
This organization has a heart for the people, a vision rooted in Jesus' heart and the Bible while using resources wisely and creatively.

Iris Ministries is being used by God across the grove in phenomenal ways! The hundreds and thousands of lives touched in Mozambique are left not only knowing the incredible love Daddy God has for them, but, many times, they experience the healing power of God. Conferences and meetings led in the US by Roland or Heidi always emphasize a deep, passionate, radical love for our Bridegroom, and taking the love which He lavishes on us to those who have yet to encounter His life-changing love. What a wonderful ministry!

My husband and I have been acquainted with Iris Ministries for about 15 years. We first met Heidi and Rolland when Heidi ministered in our church in the 1990's, and we have followed their ministry ever since. Several members of our congregation visited their work in Mozambique and have seen first-hand what God is doing there. Their work is genuine and the Lord is performing many miracles in their lives and the lives of the children they touch in that country. Both Rolland and Heidi have laid down the comforts of home to serve in an impoverished land, and the Lord has continued to show His faithfulness to them in so many ways.

We are very careful in selecting what ministries to support. We feel that Iris Ministries is one that deserves not only our financial support but our prayers.

Iris Global by far stands out to me as the most impacting, society transforming NPO on the earth today. This NPO is unique - it doesn't just take orphans and put them in an orphanage... no, they have built homes, communities with fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters... cities of joy. They feed thousands every day, clothe them, love them and restore them. They build schools and educate them. They build wells to provide clean water for them. The impact of Iris Global is felt in the nation of Mozambique where reform is taking place as a direct result... however their impact has spread throughout the world. A true inspiration. A true NPO that impacts a nation one child, one person, at a time.

Heard Heidi speak at Elim Pentecostal Church in Govanhill, Glasgow. I was struck by the Mother Heart of God she and her husband have for the orphans they taken in. Awed by the mighty works of God that are done not only by them but by the children themselves. The food miracles and God's hand in all their lives are something to behold.

Quite simply, Iris is the most amazing ministry I have ever known. As a visitor in Mozambique I saw firsthand the willingness of the Bakers (and all the others drawn to their vision) to lay their lives down for the broken and hopeless. Lots of people talk about love but they have put hands and feet to do it!

Heidi and Rolland Baker are some of the most inspirationnal persons I met. They are just so full of love, so humble and so inspiring persons. I've had the privilege to work in their orphanages in Mozambique and the love of the Father just broke my heart. At this place, my heart was opened to receive and to give love, my eyes were opened to see the poors and the desperates dying in silence.

I've never encountered a ministry so large that still maintains a heart for the people it set out to help from the beginning. The leaders are incredibly humble, and their expansion in realistically a short span of time can be attributed to letting God lead and being good stewards of His resources.

Finally, we ran out of hope, but.. Because of everything I've heard and videos I've seen through this ministry, my hope has been restored and now we are climbing up from a pit that we never belonged in anyway! We have EVERYTHING now because we have HOPE. That's what IRIS Ministries has meant to me, I'm grabbing the hope I hear and see every time and trying to pass it on to my kids.

These people are true disciples. They have dropped everything to follow Jesus and God is doing miraculous, huge things through their tiny lives. I was a part of their Harvest School of Missions last year and their love and unity is unmatched in any ministry that I've worked with. It was so refreshing! Their openness to the spirit's leading is remarkable as well. I truly feel like i have a family that spans all over the world, despite differences in doctrine. This is what Jesus wanted. They change the lives of the poor and forgotten by loving them in a way that they have never experienced. They do and give whatever it takes for them to know love, because, "love looks like something."

I first heard Heidi's testimony in Toronto. I was deeply impacted by her testimony and knew deep in my heart that the Jesus she spoke of is the Jesus that saved me and the Jesus I want to know more intimately and serve with gladness all my days.

Heidi and Rolland's ministry to the poor has been a solid encouragement to my faith in Jesus. Rolland once said that if Christianity, the gospel of Jesus Christ, works, it must work in impossible places.

I think of that often and it helps me to persevere in prayer and hope for people whose situations in the natural seem impossible. Iris Ministries has both a spiritual and practical impact that come from the heart of the living God and His Son, Jesus Christ. Their ministry both encourages the church and saves the lost.

I had heard of Heidi Baker but did not know anything about her ministry or Iris Global. I stumbled across her testimony on youtube and was moved in a way I have not ever been listening to a missionary. It gave me a new hope and a new passion for mission work, and a new faith that God truly can do anything, especially when we believe and when it comes to missions. As I've learned more about Iris Global and have heard in person people who are associated with Iris Global ministries in some way, I have been so blessed and so encouraged. This is what the great commission and mission work really should be! I've felt such a love and compassion from the ministry for the people, regardless of what race or nationality. Jesus was moved by compassion and I can certainly see the true compassion of Jesus in this ministry, changing lives and making a real difference in their lives and for the kingdom!

I am a 55Jears old german guy and my english knowledge is not good. I am also not sure to understand what you mean about a "review", but I looked in a dictionary and I try to write, how worthy you are for me.
Heidi is one "mother" in faith for me. I enjoy to listen her over youtube when she is preaching. I don't know the spiritual situation in other nations, but here in germany the Bride of our Lord is siriously ill. In the USA the most important kind of sports is baseball, in germany to be angry about something or someone and to criticize everything. In churches, too. Here is a very few christians having a living relationship to our Lord. Mostly they are afraid of God. So i am very happy about Heidi and others preachers over youtube and i am praying for a revelation in germany.
In the past life of Heidi God pushes her up to a worldwide wellknown preacher. No one can say that she is acting by her own power, everyone knows that she ist not one minute apart from God. So she is now able to refocussing the Bride of our God to a life in love and living relationship away from her tradtionalism and selfmade rightiousness.

Heidi Baker and Iris Global are the most beautiful picture of how ministry is supposed to happen that I have ever read about or seen! This ministry's day to day story reads every bit as exciting as the book of Acts. Heidi and her staff are filled with the Spirit of Holiness and carry His presence in a mighty way. They are truly, "As He was so are we in this life." They run into situations that almost everyone else would run out of. They love Him Who is the Word and believe. They put their lives on that believing line every day. No matter what happened the day before, they get up every day and do exactly what they did the day before. . .love God, serve others,impart and multiple, preach the Gospel, heal the sick, bring heaven to earth. They preach the Word with power and love each person tenderly as though they were the only one needing ministry. They do all this with great sensitivity to the leading of the Spirit.

I am a Kenyan citizen and have heard of Heidi Baker and Iris Global for perhaps three years now. My first contact was through social media and then an interview covering their Mozambique operation that Rory Alec of God TV did with her in 2012/13. From the outset, it was clear that Iris Global is not one of these ministries that shows poverty-stricken and malnourished African or Asian children to generate development dollars. Instead, they have a real heart for the people they serve and the love of Jesus Christ shines brightly through from the hearts of Heidi and her staff and volunteer team. It is one of these Christian organizations - unlike so many others - where I actually see the love of Christ at work in the lives of those reaching out and this same love transforming the beneficiaries to become the same within their communities. They make a huge difference to the lives of children in Mozambique and my only wish is that they could do even more in the Name of Jesus. More grace be with your spirits.

I stayed at the Iris base in Pemba Mozambique in 2011 with a group called YWAM. During this time I really believe that I learned so much about how ministry should be done, and how how charity should look. Iris is a truly unique mission in that it empowers people and walks in full obedience to the Lord. Iris provides, jobs, education, and Biblical training for the people of Mozambique, and real leaders are emerging because of it. Iris also reaches out to children who have no food and no place to live. This ministry takes in hundreds and maybe of thousands of children and provides them with food, shelter, education, family, and identity in Christ. Iris offers so much, but the most significant thing about this ministry is that love is at the core. I cannot say enough about Iris. It is truly incredible, and God is using it to transform and heal nations. was It was such a blessing to be a part of.

My husband and I went on a two week trip to one of their bases in Mozambique, Africa in 2008, to a children's home/village there. It was so beautiful how these kids who had lived on the streets were becoming confident and joyful as they learned about a loving God and they were loved by "moms" and "dads" and "brothers" and "sisters". We did many things there, such as go into the hospitals and help the people there, just make them feel loved pray for them and bring food to them. We also went to prison and the people there received Jesus as Lord. We also brought food to them, we watched criminals' hearts become soft as butter. So many hearts and bodies changed touched and healed. It was truly incredible. We went to the trash dump and fed them there as well. The way that Iris Global loves and rescues so many people who would die or end up in the streets truly blew our minds. What they do is a movement that just keeps going and going, helping more and more people.

My life has been impacted by this ministry in so many ways. This ministry has influenced so many churches, two of which I have been a part of and have been transformed immensely mentally, spiritually, socially and emotionally because of them.
I grew up feeling very abandoned, depressed, without hope and very lost. Since I have been a part of the churches that are run by leaders that regularly follow the teachings of this ministry I have never been the same. I have never known more hope and joy and love before and I am so transformed.

Rolland Baker came to our church 2 years ago and many lives were not only touched but he spoke so much hope and life into our community that encouraged us to expand the way we do ministry and outreach from our church location.
I recently saw Heidi Baker speak here in Southern California and she moved me to just want to do more with my life and give back to the community because of seeing how her life and the lives around her do so much for the world at large. If they can impact a community in the most dangerous and hopeless of places it gives us hope in the western world to do so much here too.
It's amazing to see people actually living a life of love and a selfless culture that inspires so many to learn to live a life of love.

Heidi and Rolland Baker are the truest examples of real love I have ever seen. They belong wholly to Jesus, and therefore exhibit zero self-ambition. Their only ambition is to be intimate with God, and to make Him known around the globe. The first time I heard Heidi speak, I laughed and cried the whole way through. She was so different than anything I'd ever seen: totally vulnerable, absolutely drenched in the Spirit, completely candid, wholly abandoned to God regardless of what it may cost her. It's been over 10 years since that day, and I've followed the Baker's ministry closely over the years. I'm astonished at the level of sheer victory they experience in their personal and ministry lives, and so impressed that with every passing year, they just seem to get more and more like Jesus. The stories they tell, the lives they impact, the choices they make in extreme hardships... wow. Just, wow. The Bakers are the real deal, and their lives make me want to give more of myself to Jesus every day.

Iris Ministries has so impacted me, not just because of the good work they do, for there are many doing a good work. Heidi and Roland's passion and selfless devotion is inspiring. They not only change lives, they are changing an entire culture. Years of poverty and despair have bound many into hopelessness. Thousands are being impacted by the fact their life has value and God has a future and a hope for them. They are being loved, transformed, healed, educated, and trained. I trust the Baker's hearts to be the heart of God.

The Iris Global ministry has inspired me to seek those who are in greatest need and to stop to reach out to the one person in need rather than to rush to gain numbers. Heidi Baker's books are wonderful as she demonstrates how to reach children. Her example of leading children to seek the face of God has become a model for my own ministry.

My daughter is studying in Sydney, Australia at C3 college, to be a minister. She has been so inspired by Heidi, that she is talking about joining her ministry in Mo. It is the most amazing thing what she is doing to reach the unreachable and ministering to those forgotten by the rest of the world.

Please do whatever you can to help her organisation, it is one of the most noble causes in the world today.

There is no other ministry that I know of that operates more efficiently. I have seen the fruit of their labor and have been directly influenced by it. As an Apostle is described in the Bible, there is no other servant of God that I know that can better fit that calling than Heidi And Rolland Baker. I have attended numerous conferences and have a good bead on the amount of selfishness or selflessness involved in the speaker and their motives. When Heidi is invited to attend, first only as God leads will she move, second I have seen her pour out until physically she is unable to even walk. To me this ministry, ordained by God is at the forefront of God advancing Kingdom!

One of the best places to learn to love. You will be blessed beyond dreams (literally) when you take the time to learn the culture you are in and learn(action verb) to serve and love people around you...not to change them but to let your service of love change them. I have been forever changed by the Iris Global Mission....I highly recommend that you take the time to live, sometimes in the dirt, with other people and experience the outpouring that The Lord wants to reveal to you. GO!!!! It's worth it all. The amount of trust and faith it takes with all the sacrifice of time, money, and life changes is the best gift to God..saying yes and believing He will provide for where He wants you to be. He loves you and I'm excited for your adventures ahead of you through Iris Global!!!:] Love in Christ, Stephanie - Dallas, Tx

This ministry, more than any I have ever seen or heard of, is about the Christ-walk. The way Jesus moved outside the assumptions and understanding of even the core believers, The Bakers are going step by step, leaving a very Christ-like legacy, teaching lessons by living that would never be believed if only taught in words. This is what our generation is thirsty and dying for, both the believers, and sadly even the church, but by the grace of God and their willing hearts, it is being done, sometimes with miracles and always with consistent, day to day, ordinary sweat and tears. Bless you and yours, in Jesus' love.

I have seen Heidi Baker twice. Once in Cleveland, OH and the other time in Baltimore, MD. Each time she ministered, I received a touch from God (one regarding freedom and the other regarding healing from bipoloar mania - in some form or fashion). Her ministry draws you into the tangible Presence of God through song, prayer and testimony.

I met Rolland Baker in an elevator in Baltimore, MD and as he shook my hand, the Power of God knocked me to the floor and I was laughing silly. Such a fun moment!

The most memorable impression that this ministry has left, however, was through Heidi's message "Becoming Sons & Daughters", delivered at Bethel Church, in Redding, CA. God used this message, as I listened to it for over 2 years repeatedly, to drill home the Truth that not only did He love me, but He liked me too. God used that message to deliver me from over 20 years of self-hatred. I can truly say today, that when I look in the mirror, I don't want to be anyone but who God made me to be.

Praise God and thank you Heidi, Rolland and Iris Ministries for all you do.

I was introduced to Iris Ministries, founded by Rolland and Heidi Baker, when I viewed their work in Mozambique by TV satelite. It is an authentic outreach to the poor and homeless children. Then I saw a TV special featuring Mama Heidi and the children. It stirred my heart as I saw the compassionate love of Christ being expressed.

I had the opportunity to personally meet Heidi Baker at a Patricia King Conference in Phoenix, AZ. She was one of the featured keynote speakers. She was introduced, took the stage, and knelt down before God in front of 2,000+ people. She prayed and sought God for 30 minutes before arising and delivering her message.

This was the first time I had ever seen anything like this... and her modeled behavior had a profound impact on me... perhaps more than any sermon I have heard. She demonstrated that a relationship with the Lord is first, above all else. I left, wanting to support the work of Iris Ministries.

The heart knows what is authentic. Iris Ministries is agape love and compassion being poured out on the poor. The Bakers are humble, sincere and devoted servants of the Lord. Their work is worthy of our support, both financially and prayerfully.

I appreciate this opportunity to express my gratitude for their labor of love. I support them indirectly through XP Ministries, who sends money to Iris Ministries. God bless the Rollands, Iris Ministries and the children.

I have supported Iris Ministries for a number of years.

During the floods in Mozambique the authorities recognizing their valued work and resources requested Iris asistance to reach folk they could not during this time.

Iris policy has meant they never turn away someone in need and the folk reached, in particular orphans, are the most helpless in society and when reached go on to have a better education and new start in life than the average child elsewhere: this was the first hand testimony given me by a nurse I had lunch with who worked with Iris in Maputo for some time.

What is especially heart warming is the personal care and involvement of the Baker family who are the founders and leaders of this enterprise and their whole servant demeanour and sacrificial lifestyle permeates all the oganisation.

I went to Nepal and worked with Iris Ministries in Kathmandu. The people are radical Jesus lovers! They live their lives for him. They go after the one supplying the poor with the things they need and giving out love freely and in abundance. They aren't just looking for statistics, they're looking to make a difference in communities. In Nepal, we worked in many different areas of ministry. There was a Banquet House where they fed the homeless/street kids once a week and doubled as a church on Saturdays. They also run a Children's Home full of at least 20 Nepali and Indian kids living there full time. We did ministry in the red light district, helping young girls get out of difficult situations. They supplied translators and have a guest house, took us on treks to villages in the mountain regions. Such a good group of people to work with and SO much freedom in what they could do! Loved my experience with them.

Heidi Baker has touched my heart for many years. I have read her books and seen her in person on 3 occasions in various settings. In one conference in Knoxville Tn. I felt her come into the bathroom before I knew it was her. The Spirit of God dwells within her in a living relationship.
She lives a life of abandonment, of genuine contagious love for Jesus. Her worship is as real as can be. She does not conform to our American model nor does she seek to please anyone but God. It is obvious in how she presents Him in her meetings.
Those who are hungry are filled. Those who are full of other idols and have no need cannot receive the anointing she carries.

I have been familiar with Iris for about 10 years. Not only does this organization reach out to the most hopeless, most neglected, most desperate people on this planet, in the process, thousands upon thousands of people who watch and hear and learn about what they are doing become inspired to reach out too. This is not a nameless, faceless conglomerate. You can see the lives changed. You can experience it. You can be spurred on to believe that no case is hopeless. And the people who are helped and the lives that are touched are not just a number or a statistic. They are not one of many in a long line. They are each valued, given the necessities to sustain life yes, but also the love that makes that life significant. I wholeheartedly support and encourage others to also support this charity.

Further to all what has been said about our beloved Sister Heidi Baker and the ministry Iris global, I personally haven't seen Heidi in person and yet I know her and the ministry to be going on for so many years now based on my reading and observation online including Facebook and on Australian Christian Channel TV. I heard years ago of what God has been doing through miracles, signs and wonders through this ministry to children of impoverished or living in constant poverty backgrounds. Heidi was called by God to Mozambique, Africa to minister to the broken and poorest of the poor and to rescue the perishing. God showed Himself as a loving God and told Heidi to do the same, ie, to go out there and "just love on people" in Jesus. There's something astounding and remarkable about Heidi that God empowered her with and that's the immense presence of God in her life and ministry revolving around God's Word, worship empowered by God's love and His presence. So far I learned that Heidi and the her husband Ronald have ministered to over 100,000 already. Signs and wonders & miracles have taken place in this ministry like multiplication of food as that of the feeding of the 5000 in the Bible. I believe in this ministry! It's beautiful!

I have had the privelidge of visiting the Pemba Mozambique location on three different occasions. I think the most unusual part about Iris is the broad range of ways they show the love of Christ. No matter what makes you heart happy, your gifts or talents, you will find the perfect opportunity to serve there. I personally was pushed myself out of my comfort zone and was powerfully blessed! I've sat at the feet of prostitutes, widows and the unlovely and loved it. Ive played in the dirt with beautiful children whose clothes barely covered their small thin bodies, and their beautiful smiles are burned in my heart and mind, had the privelidge to pray with people for salvation, healing and provision, saw food multiplied and children blessed just to be held, hugged or just to hold my hand and walk down the road. It's an amazing outreach that doesn't leave anyone unserved! The most amazing outreach I have ever seen or been part of.

I have been blessed by this ministry through CFNI and have supported a few people who have trained under this ministry. I believe it to be Holy Spirit led and genuine. A place where people have the heart of God infused into them. I have heard nothing but good things about Heidi Baker and how she is a humble lover of Christ and all people. How she is sacrificial and caring for the less fortunate. I also have heard testimonies of many signs, wonders and miracles that have manifested through this ministry.

I have witnessed Heidi Baker to be similar inheart and effectiveness as Mother Teresa. i have personally been extremely changed into a more Christlike believer as I have sat under their ministry when they are in the states. If you are looking for a ministry to help you truly know Jesus, this is the one. Need a place to put money and goods where you know the ones who need help,will get it...this is the one.
I was a good Christian before I heard of them. Their lives, their Extreme love for Jesus, has imparted to me a deeper relationship with Jesus. I do things now because i have see His heart whereas before, I did things (good works) because I was "supposed to".
They have imparted into me a confidence that I can and should love the one in front of me. Just that one. They dont check to make there is a sponsor or a bed before they say yes to dying, hurting, hungry, abused child. They take them in, love them to life and trust. God to take care of the ones He sends.

Iris Ministries is a God ordained and Spirit led ministry impacting the globe. Any Christian ministry should be tested by its fruit according to scripture and Iris Ministries is proof on many fronts of God's anointing on it. The fruit of Iris? Spiritually: spreading the gospel message world wide but especially in South East Africa centred in Mozambique, with millions saved, hundreds of thousands healed and many raised from the dead; all of which is documented. On the practical front Iris Ministries is feeding the poor, digging fresh water wells in African villages, training Africans to farm and grow their own crops as well as taking care of thousands of children orphaned by aids and other sicknesses as well as hunger.
I have no doubt in my spirit that supporting the work of this ministry is the will of God and storing up treasure in heaven.
I totally honour and respect all that Iris and its staff are doing in Africa and world wide and will continue to support it financially and practically as I am able.

Not knowing a thing about Heidi and Roland Baker; I attended their school in Pemba, Mozambique before spending two weeks with the Iris Cambodia base in Pnom Phen. INCREDIBLE! I was certainly surprised, shocked, anxious, nervous even .. But the outcome and riches in my life during/since this experience as far outweighed anything I could ever imagine. Keeping an open mind and heart helped me to mould my life into what it is today. I could not have done that without gaining the knowledge and understanding this organisation freely gives away in regards to your true identity in Christ.
If you are feeling a bit sceptical in regards to this organisation let me remind you - you can truly know a mans heart by the out workings he displays .. so ask yourself, what has your research shown you in regards to the out workings of this organisation?
In my opinion and experience, Iris Ministries is grounded on the truth that can only be found in the loving Word and serves many people in need. More impacting is the people involved are not only making a difference in the community, but they are immersing themselves in the culture and working with the locals instead of imposing their own value systems upon the situation. That’s important if you are wanting to make life long changes that benefit the community.

Iris Global is a non-profit that expresses a living tangible demonstration of love in action. My husband and I have personally been blessed seeing this organization change lives, families, and a country. They believe in the goodness of God through acts of kindness and meeting personal needs that have kept people from dying, both physically and spiritually. They carry the love of God to the darkest places in the world, bringing hope with the good news of the Gospel of Christ. One of the ways Iris Global demonstrates love in action is by linking together with other non-profits like Global Samaritan and Iris Relief. They ship medical-dental and education supplies, computers, food distribution, and humanity relief in times of need. Iris stops for the one and makes Jesus' unconditional love known through actions and deeds. My husband and I are honored to be part of this Iris family in Abilene, Texas. This ministry portrays the heart of God with integrity, serving those in need.

I first volunteered on a short-term basis at Iris Zimpeto Children's Centre in Maputo in June 2012 as a young woman with a fear of children. Fear governed my decisions, and limited my ability to love others. It was a fear rooted in deep-seated issues of rejection because of my own past experiences of various forms of abuse as a child. Volunteering at Iris has been one of the most powerful vehicles Daddy God has used to heal me of these fears, the children there have shown how to love in freedom and without an agenda. Gestures as simple as a hug, arms reaching up for you to lift them up, eyes filled with love, hands clasped in yours, singing colourful songs of love to Jesus, extravagant expressions of love in the simplest form that bring about the most intense healing to the brokenhearted and the burnout. God has healed me and made me whole, bold and courageous, filled to overflowing with His compassionate love for me, His redeeming love for all, overflowing in and through me.

The first time I saw Heidi was after I led my jewish friend to the Lord and God told me to go to Toronto and told me He was going to heal her of cancer (2000). Have you ever tried to tell a jewish person they needed Jesus and then convinced them to go out of the country? LOL. Well she did. We went to catch the fire and she got healed but as far as Heidi is concerned she was so wrecked she couldn't even get up to speak. It was great! My friend thought it was a little too much. To make a long story short, she was healed, I've been to Toronto again (unfortunately when that young girl died last year during one of the meetings I was the first one there to see it) and Heidi came to Reno a couple of weeks ago and my same friend was there rooting her on and soaking in the Presence. Thank you God so much. Heidi, I go to hear you because it humbles me to know all you've been through and all you continue to do. I realize how small I am and how big my God is! Thank you so much for being a window that God's light shines through! Love from Reno!

I first learned of Iris Ministries when Rolland and Heidi Baker spoke at a church conference that my family attended over 12 years ago. I have heard them speak many times since then and know at least 5 friends and relatives who have experienced their ministry first hand in Mozambique.

Rolland and Heidi are truly devoted to serving the Lord and leading as many people to Jesus as they can. They are amazing examples of faith, hope, and love. I love to listen to their stories. Their lives and ministry are examples of Christ's love for the church. I remember Heidi answering the question, "How do you managed to deal with so many people who have so many needs?". I believe that her answer was, "You take care of the one in front of you."

Listening to Rolland and Heidi Baker share the miracles of salvation and how God meets their needs and the needs of the people whom they serve always builds my faith.

When I think of Heidi Baker and Iris Global, I immediately think of the phrase 'love the one' or 'stop for the one'. Heidi's message and example through her work in Mozambique have shaped the way I think and dream about development work. My choice to pursue a masters in a related field was largely inspired by her message. No one can deny the equally profound impact Iris Global has had on the children and communities it serves. Many incredible innovative and clever ideas abound in the field of development but the most brilliant and impacting seems also to be the most simple: love the one. Heidi Baker and Iris Global have shown the power of this commitment to transform the most desperate situations into stories of hope and life, all the while inviting the privileged, such as myself, to experience the beauty and transformation that comes from living from the heart and simply loving the one.

I love this ministry. I love how they help people on so many levels. They build community, food network, healing of body, soul, mind and spirit. They proclaim the Name of Jesus through being His hands and feet. They have extensive orphan care throughout the world, and medical clinics and they help free slaves (anti-human trafficking programs). They are making gardens and working on food security in Africa. They empower people to live without charity. They give a hands-up not a hand-out. I've heard Heidi Baker speak a number of times and her heart is so tender to the poor- its hard not to catch that passion being in her presence, its so strong.

It was honestly one of the best experiences of my life. The people I met have had a massive effect on my life and I will never go back to the same normal as what I knew before I left for Africa. It was also amazing to see the skills that I have and what I studied at university be useful in the 3rd world. I can not wait to go back, not only to help change lives but to have mine changed.

I have never been more impressed with a non-profit as I have been over the years with Iris Ministries.

They have impacted that region in a way that will never be the same again. I have read stories of people who the country has cast out, brought into a family that loves and cares about them and also provides high levels of education.

I have been struck with the amazing way in which Irisglobal connects with the people and culture that they are serving. Irisglobal truly cares about the poor and instead of just giving money or things, the means of attacking poverty, (so that people can have a better life standard) is relationship and education, so that not only material, bust also emotionally and relationally people prosper. So that people who where without hope, find meaning in their lives and discover that they have tremendous worth and are loved.
Simply put Irisglobal expresses love to the poor in their service to them.
