Stop for the One exists to live out the simple Gospel of love through child sponsorship programs. We see the simple power of love in action transform the lives of children every day by providing education, food, care, and love. We believe love looks like something and our desire is to inspire and encourage people to live outside of themselves.

We are so excited to announce our Iris Global Cambodia Children's Center has been added to sponsorship!
The main focus of the Iris Kenya Village of Peace Project is to empower this village to break away from this cycle of poverty and despair by educating the children. We will set up projects that empower and encourage self-sustainability, teaching the unemployed skills, such as sewing and organic farming - skills they will be able to use at home and to earn an income.
Five days a week our Pemba center fills with children from our community who come for the Agape Kids Club in the Centro de Esperança de Communidade – the Hope Community Center. Each day our doors are open for anywhere from 250 to 500 kids, ranging from 3-14 years old. Any child in the surrounding community wishing to have a plate of rice and beans and hear the Good News is welcome. These two things may not seem like a big deal, but for them, they are huge!
Once a week, our Iris Guinea Base feeds over 200 children in their local community. Base Director, Sia Tongu, shares a testimony of how the Lord multiplied food!
“ You can't help but smile when you see kindness and love, especially when it is displayed by children. ”
“ Don't forget the one next to you, the person to whom you can be Jesus' hand of compassion. ”
“ We must stop for each one, genuinely caring and demonstrating the love of Jesus with actions, not just words. ”
We are so thankful for Joyce Meyer Ministries program called Hand of Hope which provides a very important snack during school hours to all of our children in our Iris Pemba School!
