Heidi Baker

about

Heidi Baker is a Christian charismatic missionary and with her husband Rolland co-founder of IRIS Ministries and the author of several books. Together with her husband Rolland Heidi founded IRIS Ministries in 1980, a non-profit Christian ministry dedicated to Jesus and evangelism, especially among the poor. After twelve years ministering in Asia, they left in 1992 to do their PhD's at King's College London, UK. In 1995 they started a new ministry to the poor and homeless children in Mozambique. Beginning with nothing, within a matter of months they were given a dilapidated orphanage in Maputo with 80 children. From there, the ministry has expanded to include 5000 churches in Mozambique and a total of over 8,000 churches in 26 nations.[citation needed] There are multiple 'bases' with Bible schools, as well as community outreaches and top-ranked public schools.[citation needed] In September 2008 Iris Ministries started a well digging project in Northern Mozambique. Originally from Southern California, the Bakers are now based full-time in Pemba, Mozambique. They also travel to various places around the world to preach the gospel, to share their story, and to call the Western church to become "laid-down lovers of Jesus". The core value and message of the Bakers ministry is God's love. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
