Iris Ministries (Mozambique)

After "Storm the Nations 2002" has finished, I went to Mozambique to visit Iris Ministries, run by Rolland and Heidi Baker, for two weeks. To be more precise, it was at their childrens' centre in Zimpeto, Maputo.

This is a very basic summary of the scope of the work done by Iris - please see their website for more details.
Outside the Zimpeto center.
Part of the primary school and playing field.
First shot of the babies' housing.
More babies.
Playing in the 3-4 year old area. Notice the space shuttle theme... The Mighty Rockets are there too ;-)
More 3-4 year olds.
A refugee camp close to Maputo. Heading towards a church congregation.
A missionary surrounded by refugee children when he is giving out candy.
Worship time inside the church in the Zimpeto center, looking towards the stage.
Children, pastors and missionaries dancing before the Lord on the front. Looking from the left of the stage to the right.
A token shot of the Maputo city center.
More Maputo city, notice the Z M logo towards the right. That is for the local beer...
A church "in the bush". The pastor and his wife live in the tent until a house can be built for them.
Surrounding area of that village. Notice the water pump at the bottom.
Another view of the village.
Children having lunch back in the Zimpeto center.
Lunchtime, looking towards the front.
A view of the children from a corner.
A shot of a random kid that I played with on my last day there.
