After serving with Iris Global for 5 years in Pemba, Mozambique and 10 years as base-directors
in White River, RSA, Jean and Teisa Nicole felt God’s call to Manila, Philippines. Pioneering a
new ministry center focused on awakening hearts to Jesus and His great commission!
About: During the first year, the major focus
is learning the new rhythms/language/culture while building relationships with
local leaders. Through personal mentoring and group training sessions,
the mobile Dream Center is reaching around 15+ Filipino missionaries
(from local ministries) and 15+ international missionaries (mostly
Iris Global). Currently meeting in living rooms, coffee shops, YLC,
the ministry is able to flow and flex to whatever is needed to ‘stop for the
one.’ The Iris Manila team does envision the mobile Dream Center
becoming an established ministry/missionary training school in time.
They also dream someday of a Hospitality home to host missionaries
from around the world for times of healing, rest, and
renewal.

Involved: Ways to partner with the Iris Manila primary
expressions: Gather/grow/go
1). GATHER- Come alongside our
team with Encounter Nights-evenings focused on His presence and
allowing people to have life-changing encounters with Holy Spirit! Worship
leaders and teams are especially needed in this vital ministry! We
also partner with local pastors in evangelism which visitors/team
are a great blessing!
2) GROW- Come alongside of mobile
Dream Center with the Discipleship/skills track (mentoring and
training geared for all believers/leaders). Workshops or skill training
sessions can be arranged for specific areas or teams. There also may
be opportunities for seasoned leaders to impart into the Missionary
track (local missionaries).
3) GO- Come with us as we stop
for the one in Manila! This can look like riding the Jeepneys
or trikes in the city and praying/sharing the Gospel as He leads.
Perhaps helping a local pastor with feeding the hungry within local
barangays (communities)….it is always an adventure! And someday take
teams of Filipino missionaries to the nations!!!!
