Stop for the One is the child sponsorship program for the ministry Iris Global.
Shawn Ercoli, COO of Iris Global, shares a powerful testimony of how one local man and his family came to find Jesus after Cyclone Kenneth devastated his village and then extremist violence made them flee.
Iris is first and foremost about sharing the good news of Jesus and His love. We are not a faith-based humanitarian charity, rather we are a missions movement committed to a tangible expression of love, and our call, in particular, is to serve the destitute, the lost, the broken, and the forgotten. We follow Jesus’ admonition to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and give water to the thirsty.
Through our relief efforts, we meet people at their most desperate and have provided millions of meals to people who would otherwise go without. Our programs also help in times of natural disaster and we provide physical and emotional relief to suffering people. In flooding, earthquakes, hurricanes, fires and whatever else nature can think of, we bring in basic supplies, help with recovery and rebuilding, and always share the hope we have in Jesus.
We are grateful for your prayers and support as we continue bringing the practical love of Jesus to communities in need, especially now as another cyclone has barreled through central Mozambique. Cyclone Eloise is the strongest storm so far in the 2020-21 season and while it was not as devastating as Cyclone Idai, there is still a lot of relief work to be done.
Our ministry team based in Dondo, Mozambique has mobilized with a goal to repair damaged churches, rebuild homes, and distribute food, seeds, and basic supplies — and as with all of our relief efforts, we always share the light and truth of the Gospel!
