Tiana, Kely, and Fifi
Tiana, Kely, and Fifi all slept on the same street as the Iris Base house. If we came home late at night we would pass them all curled up on the street corner trying to stay warm. It was agony to...
Malagasy Girl
This is a precious Malagasy girl that comes to the daily lunch feeding. She comes from a very poor family and it is a relief for her parents and many others in the area who can hardly feed their families...
Street Boys

Our Friend Lito
This is Lito. In Mozambique Joshua quickly made many little African friends, but Lito was his favorite. On Sundays all of the Mozambican children would leave church to go to a separate hut for Sunday...Walking Through the Bush
This was Caleb’s favorite mode of transportation in Africa: Jeremy’s shoulders. Walking everywhere quickly tired him out so one of us was always carrying him. This was during an outreach...
Graduation with Heidi Baker
We had the opportunity to sit under the teaching and ministry of Heidi Baker and her husband, Rolland in Mozambique during the Iris Harvest School of Missions. Heidi is a personal hero of ours and she...
