I Left My Heart In Mozambique

Donation protected
I am so excited to share with everyone that I am going to make my first visit back to Africa in 6 years! Many of you know that I spent several years involved with Iris Ministries, the ministry started by Rolland and Heidi Baker in Mozambique. I was blessed to be trained by the Bakers and to serve as staff with them in Pemba, Mozambique for 3 years. I poured my heart and soul into my work with the people there and they will forever have a piece of my heart. Will you help me get back to this nation for a month-long trip this October?

I will be returning to visit the two largest Iris bases in Mozambique, which are centers for orphaned and abandoned children with many different aspects of ministry.   I am thrilled to be bringing with me two friends from Wisconsin and I know they will be changed forever just as I was! We will simply be available for God to use as He sees fit, whether that is holding a child, visiting a mud hut, praying for people and ministering on outreaches, or simply praying and seeking His face. Most of all,  I am looking forward to reconnecting with old friends, the children and the leaders that I so poured into while I was there. I am raising $4,000 to cover my travel and expenses. My first goal is to raise $2,300 on or before June 1st to purchase my first plane tickets.

Offerings can also be sent to me directly at 3401A S. 17th Street, Milwaukee, WI 53215 or through PayPal at this link: . Make checks payable to "Melissa Stanton". I won't be charged fees on offerings sent to me this way.
