I am from England and Claudia is from Brazil and our 3 amazing little children (Jessica, Ana Keziah and Noah) are a mix of the best from both cultures. We have given our lives to bring the Glory of God to the places where people don´t generally want to go and to raise up others to do the same. I am a fan of Tottenham Hotspur football club and Claudia is a fan of making cupcakes (good for me) and shopping (not so good for me).

I am Brazilian and beloved son of Abba. I have dedicated my life to missions for the past 10 years. I always knew that God had something in my life. Usually, most people receive confirmations about their call to missions, but I did not receive anything specific. I simply had the desire and The fire burning in my heart. I read the command, and I obeyed! God has given me the opportunity to be partner with Him in what He is doing around the world. My desire is to see Brazilians in love and full of the Presence of God, participating in the last great harvest which has already begun. I have been a part of the team since Iris Fortaleza was founded. I have served as pastoral leader over the missionaries. God has expanded my tent in recent months, as I am now co-leading the base. I am also the director of the Missions School. I carry joy; this is my mark. I walk in the office of a prophet in humility as the Master Jesus walked.

I am a beloved son of the Most High! I live to spread the Gospel and see God’s Kingdom come on Earth as it is in Heaven. I love seeing people forever changed by encountering the love of God! I’m a pastoral leader and director of media here at Iris Fortaleza. My other areas of focus include outreach to the red light district and leading worship.

I am currently living in Fortaleza, Brazil and working with Iris Fortaleza. I live to make Jesus famous and have a desire to see people transformed by God’s word through the power of the Holy Spirit! It is my hope that I will one day be able to grow a respectable mustache.

Hello, we are Elisio and Melissa Chaves, Brazilian and American respectively. We currently live in Fortaleza, Brazil and have been full-time missionaries with Iris Fortaleza for a year, in which we are actively involved in outreach in the Red Light District here in Fortaleza. Our hearts also burn more and more to see revival sparked through a worship movement in local churches and in the streets of Brazil. Both of us were born and raised in Christian homes and for several years, both of our lives have been involved in children’s and youth ministries. Since we got married in April of 2014, we became more certain of our calling to the mission field and dove head first with Iris Fortaleza. Since this decision of fully surrendering everything, God has brought so much healing and freedom to our personal lives as well as our marriage. We feel honored to be able to carry the light of Jesus to the darkest places of the world. Our hearts desire is to live a life completely surrendered to our Father, giving of our lives even until death.

My dream is to love Jesus more than anyone else ever has! I grew up totally oblivious to the fact the I was called to run the race—press on towards the goal—that I could really know God. By God’s mercy He smacked me awake, showered me with love, and asked me to be obedient no matter what. I said Yes! My name is Lauren aka, ‘Queen of the Children’, ‘Crazy Pirate’, or ‘Morena’ (dark skin).

My desire is to always say yes to Jesus and to live a life guided by the Holy Spirit! I believe that I was called to make a difference in this world, bringing the love of God to everyone… especially the little ones!

Jesus gave me everything! I want to give everything to Him! I want to see my life completely surrendered at the feet of The One who loved me first! My heart burns to see every people, tribe, and nation recognizing Jesus as Lord and Savior of their lives and having a real relationship with Him! I wanna spend my life so His kingdom may come, and to see the world being filled with people completely passionate for the Lamb that is forever worthy!

My name means short divine warrior. If you know me personally you know it makes perfect sense!I studied Law, but I don’t wanna be known as a lawyer. Instead, I want people to know me as a laid down lover of Christ and a carrier of God’s presence! I LOVE THE HOLY SPIRIT and I believe you’ll never walk in the fullness God has for you without Him!

My desire is to remain in the midst of the dreams of God even if it costs me tears. I hope to see in life the bride encountering the bridegroom and being raised up in purity. The holy Trinity means everything to me. I would like to mention that Dutch Blitz is the best game ever.

Born in 1990, in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará. Graduated in Chemistry from the Federal University of Ceará. Currently a full-time missionary and crazy lover of the things of Heaven. My greatest desire is to express the love of God in a radical way among the excluded. I want to awaken this generation to live a passionate love for Jesus. My dream is to see the Kingdom of Heaven being established in the Earth and love touching the lives of children, teens, and young people in a radical way.

I love Jesus, and love watching people come into a revelation of how much He loves them, and how worthy He is of all of our worship. I love doing missions in community, and love that it teaches me to love more deeply and selflessly. I love being a missionary! I also really love family, breakfast, and getting to birth babies!!

I desire to be known by God as a lover of all that He is and does. He created me to be one who gives everything, to give all that I am to search Him out. I believe God has called me to go the the most darkest and most unreached places on the earth. My prayer is that missions would continue to grow more simple for me; that my life would be given as an offering and expression of love to Jesus.

‘We love Him because He first loved us.’ One day I responded to this love, and I am still discovering more. Compelled by this love, my heart has led me to give up everything for His dream of seeing His bride coming to Him pure and beautiful. My dream is to see missionaries from my nation in a place of complete surrender, so to see this happen I have committed myself to this way. I want to see the Word of God happening in the day-to-day, signs and wonders and the Holy Spirit convicting the hearts of those walking in darkness. I’m happy because I have Him who has the fullness of joy, Jesus.

Hey Guys! We are Rafael and Isabelly Cunha, from Pernambuco, but since God has called us we have been working in the interior/bush of Ceará. We are serving with Iris Fortaleza in the interior/bush minstry. We understand that missions is on the heart of God, and if we love Him with everything and above everything, then to obey Him and surrender everything is the only option! His love has guided us to this point… and we are very excited for an entire life in this adventure with Jesus.Our hearts have burned for the people in the interior/bush. We want to see God reigning in justice and revealing their identity in Christ. Our desire is to serve in love and be used by the Father wherever He sends us… Until He returns!

We are Glailton and Edilane Ferreira. We are Brazilian. We are 24 years old, married, and misionairies with Iris fortaleza. We did the first missions school at Iris fortaleza and God directed us to the isolated people groups in the northeast interior/bush of Brazil. Today we work at the Iris base and church in the city of Choró ( Interior town in central Céara). Our heart is to carry the love of God to the lost and unreached, working for the restoration of families and discipling teens.

I am 24 years old. I graduated from Iris Global School Fortaleza in 2015. My vain plans to return home and have a normal life were broken when I realized that the harvest is ready to be reaped, and I want to be part of it. My heart has longed to see a generation burning for God’s presence that carries this hunger wherever they go. My focus is to see a release of God in the nations through worship and spreading of the truth, which will bring a genuine revival for people who are hungry for more of God.

I believe I could be the woman who most hears the voice of the Holy Spirit in our generation! I never wanted a normal life, so I don’t accept anything less than to live each day crazier than the next, and overflowing in the presence of God. My heart is for the Brazilian church and for women, men, and children that are sexually broken and marginalized by society. I want to raise up holy sons and daughters that are willing to surrender everything to God. I’m from São Paulo, a publicist, and I love adventure. For me, there is no greater joy than to be in the streets with the forgotten, raising an alter of worship to God. I believe in radical Brazilian missionaries being sent to the nations and hastening the coming of Jesus!

We are Gustavo and Natasha Prata.We work with the community devolopement ministry in Oitão Preto, which is a favela here in Fortaleza. We are in love with Jesus and His presence! He has put a love for children in our hearts. We believe that we can change the world, because that’s why we were called by God. We were called to look like Jesus. He has changed our world and the worlds of many people we know, so yes, we believe we can change the world… even if it’s the world of just one child, old person, or young adult. We want to go wherever God sends us, sharing the Good News with the unreached, and bringing hope to the lost. We want to love those forgotten by society, because God’s love can heal any wound.

The Holy Spirit is theme of my life, and I love Him! My biggest dream is to see a generation full of His sweet presence walking in His power, authority, and love. I want to take the Good News to the nations with joy and in total surrender. I work in the community development ministries and the school of missions here in Fortaleza.

Son and best friend of a King full of love. Since I was a child, my greatest desire was to go deeper and deeper in intimacy with Jesus. I believe that living with him is a great adventure that requires a life out of the ordinary. I am involved in the ministry of the Red Light District; I believe that the streets will be filled with the Holy Spirit, and sexually broken men and women will be transformed by the presence of a Father full of goodness. My dream is to see lost people found by the radical love of Jesus, and see his church rise up with boldness and compassion to be a home for the abandoned. There is no fear in love!

My name is Ducarmo Pereira. My greatest desire is to see people being restored and conscious of who they are in Christ. I am so happy to take part in the Great Commission (Mt 28:19), and to GO wherever He leads me. I want to GO and make Jesus known and loved. I am in love with curly hair and horses!

I want to look like my Lord, walk how He walked, and make Him known. My personal dream is to see Jesus face to face. I love to evangelize because talking about God fills me with more and more of Him . The desire of my heart is to take the Gospel to the Middle East and see the unsaved surrendering their lives to Jesus! I currently work with community developement in the slums with children, families, and primarily with young people involved in drug dealing. I love butterflies!

Son of an incredible Father, missionary by consequence and in love with Jesus. I want to see the bride of Christ ready for His coming and rising with love for the lost in the darkest places. I want to see the end of prostitution. I want to see creative hearts generating life and freedom through art and new possibilities in the streets, tribes and nations.
