We are moving to South Africa to partner with a mission’s organization called Iris Global. We will be located just outside the city of Johannesburg, which is the largest city in South Africa, where about 6 million people reside. This location, called Iris Footprints, focuses on raising healthy individuals in the context of family - it is not an orphanage, but rather a home where over thirty children have been adopted and are being raised in kingdom family - loved, protected, and equipped to live healthy, thriving lives as they grow into adults. We will be serving the children and families on base as well as serving within the surrounding community through evangelism, outreach, and discipleship, as well as meeting practical needs such as food and clothing in lower income areas. We also plan to visit and partner with different ministries in Mozambique, the nation where Iris Global began and where we first met! The narrative of people’s lives is being rewritten because of what was accomplished on the cross and it is our greatest honor to be a part of his redemptive work - to the ends of the earth. Iris Footprints is where we feel led to begin as we step back into the world of missions, and we are expectant for all that he will do as we continue to step out in faith with a resounding, “yes” in our hearts to our Faithful Father, wherever he may lead us!
