FROM SHAWN ERCOLI, IRIS GLOBAL OPERATIONS

We are profoundly grateful to share this testimony video especially because so many of you joined us in prayer and through financial support. We rejoice in God’s faithfulness and marvel at the lengths He compels us to go to reach the hurting and the lost.

FROM IRIS GRAN FAMILIA

Iris Gran Familia in Santa Cruz, Bolívia recently opened a bakery in the neighborhood surrounding the prison where they minister. For the women leaving prison, finding work can be very difficult. Iris Gran Familia's desire is to provide jobs and discipleship to these women.  Currently, they have one employee and are seeing God really bless their little venture. They bake delicious cakes and other tasty treats at a price anyone can afford all while sharing Jesus' love.

FROM IRIS LUWERO

Three years ago the team in Luwero purchased land that would one day be the site of their children's home and more. Faithfully, they waited for construction finances and at the beginning of this year they were finally able to break ground! With funding secured, construction has begun on the girls’ rooms — one handmade brick at a time. Ministry director Carolyn wrote, "We praise God who is never late and always does things right on time." Check out the full testimony of His faithfulness and provision here.
 

As we share the good news of Jesus, it would be an incomplete Gospel if we didn’t stop and put our faith into action when we encounter physical needs. Our Community Programs help keep families strong and supported by providing children with a much-needed meals and spiritual discipleship. We are so grateful to all of our sponsors for helping us share the love of Jesus with children around the world.
