Nepal & Iris Ministries


We indicated this in the last post, but I thought I'd throw it out there a little more officially.

We've signed on to work with Iris Ministries in Nepal for the next two years. Iris is a beautiful and amazing ministry and we feel blessed and honored to be a part of the family. Their heart is to feed the hungry in body and spirit, and let the love of Jesus spill out all over the place. Furthermore having leaders like Heidi and Rolland Baker is incredibly inspiring, they are true forerunners in the Kingdom. Iris Canada is also registered Canadian charity and will be handling all of our donations from now on. If you wish to support us you can make tax deductible contributions on this page, or by clicking the links on the right of our blog page.

While we were at the school in Mozambique we did a long term interview with the leaders who oversee Asia, though we had not yet been to the Iris base in Nepal we knew Jesus was calling us there. Our short time in Nepal confirmed it, the country and the people worked their way into our hearts. The Lord has left the next step in our life in Kathmandu. We cannot not go there.

We leave Canada around April 8th, which leaves us just enough time to prepare to move to Asia. When we arrive we'll be meeting up with some good friends from Harvest School (in Mozambique) and ministering with them. After that we need to find a place to live and then take on the challenge of learning the Nepali language, which is very similar to Hindi. The exact nature of our ministry there is yet to be revealed, but our heart is to release the Fathers love and the Kingdom wherever we are. We are also looking forward to building relationships with the kids at the Iris Nepal children's home.

  1. Looks like I've got more praying to do!

    I love you guys and am so sad to see you go! I think, though, that I'm even more happy to see you move forward in what God has for you. We only have one life and you two are living it in step with the Spirit. I couldn't be more glad of this.

    Love you. Love you. Love you.
