Dondo
We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me. Colossians 1:28 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body Christ my be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Ephesians 4:11-13
MISSION
Our vision is to guide the churches under our care to self-support, self-govern, and self-extend, by supporting and not dominating, going low, and humbling ourselves to empower natives to step forward, stand in the Lord, and fully embrace the fact that they can move in oneness with the Holy Spirit, to support their work financially and spiritually, depending on the Holy Spirit to show them who to elect as leaders, confidently solve conflict within their church body and take charge of the spread of the gospel in their nation, multiplying disciples, serving their communities an planting churches.
About Dondo
Iris Dondo, located in Sofala Province in Central Mozambique, spans a 3-acre base that includes five homes for missionary families and additional rooms for singles. We also provide dormitories for visiting teams and pastors attending seminars and schools. Our current team consists of 13 missionaries and 17 Mozambican staff members. Dondo is situated along National Road 6, which stretches from the Port of Beira on the Indian Ocean, across Mozambique, and into neighboring Zimbabwe.
Ministries We Provide
Bible Listening Groups
Recognizing that many people are illiterate and often cannot read, especially the older population, we have initiated a Bible listening program. We train church leaders to set up listening groups and provide audio Bibles, ensuring everyone can consistently hear the Word in their dialect.
Church Visits
On Sundays, we visit local churches to deliver timely messages that provoke the church to greater intimacy and commitment to Jesus.
Discipleship
Young adults meet every Tuesday and Friday at our center to build community, read the Word, and strengthen their relationship with Jesus.
Evangelism
Evangelism is a core focus at Iris Dondo. We train locals to preach the gospel through our Evangelism School, and from there, they return to their churches and teach others. Additionally, we engage in door-to-door evangelism, visiting homes, praying for the sick, and sharing the Gospel.
Gospel Campaigns
We also conduct large-scale Gospel Campaigns in cities throughout the central region of Mozambique, modeled after the efforts of the late Reinhard Bonnke, founder of Christ for all Nations (CfaN). These campaigns draw thousands to hear the Gospel, resulting in healings, deliverance, and profound transformations.
Hospital Ministry
Our team visits the hospital weekly, bringing food and encouragement to those in need. We often witness healings and salvations during these visits.
Inner Healing and Deliverance
Through seminars, we teach a true understanding of Isaiah 53:5, helping individuals find inner healing and deliverance.
Jesus Films
We bring the Jesus film to rural communities, gathering crowds of several hundred. After the film, we offer opportunities for people to make decisions for Christ and receive prayer for healing.
Mercy Ministries
This ministry serves widowed and disabled individuals, providing essential support to over 85 people on our list. They receive products and finances, house repairs, medical support, and discipleship, ensuring their holistic well-being. We also provide school uniforms for children living with our mercy ministries program members.
Preschool
Our preschool provides free education to children ages 4-5, with a faith-based curriculum. Our teachers also visit children who have been absent to encourage their return to school.
Printed Materials
Iris Dondo has written and printed numerous books on topics such as leadership, biblical marriage, foundations, evangelism, and discipleship. These materials are distributed to churches throughout the central region.
Prison Ministry
Our team visits the local prison each week to bring the Gospel and encouragement to those incarcerated.
Seminars
We conduct seminars on foundational topics to strengthen and encourage church leaders and members. Topics include Bible foundations, leadership, marriage, and finance.

Bread
Almost a year ago, a journey began to create a bread oven project for some here in Central Mozambique to help on the practical missions side. The reality here is that jobs are often scarce or unstable, and this donation gave us an incredible opportunity to change that for the lives of three men. We have...
Youth - Discipleship
Recently, a few missionaries and Mozambicans started boys' and girls' groups for ages 11-18. We play games and share a message during our time together on Sunday afternoons. About 15 girls and ten boys come to the groups, with two girls walking for about an hour! Some of the games the girls enjoy the mos...
A party without cake is just a meeting!!
After a generous donor provided our team with funds to microfinance small bakeries, we began to look for lucrative opportunities that would provide a sustainable business for some of our disciples. Having already provided two families nearby with bread ovens, we continued to pour into them by equipping t...
