South Africa: White River
About White River
Assisting Pastor Surprise Sithole in leading the churches of South Africa and Swaziland, a fiery group of national pastors and missionaries gather monthly to receive God’s heart for the nations.
In 2003, we planted a church in the impoverished township of Backdoor outside of White River/Mombela, South Africa. From that one church, the transforming power of God has forever impacted the community and launched a ministry center committed to the core values of Iris Global.
Our team prays and plans for local and national outreaches, conferences, church planting, etc. seeks to strengthen, disciple and empower the local churches to exalt Jesus in all ways and to care for orphans and vulnerable people in their own areas.
Michael’s Children Village
We are raising up a generation of African children of purity, passion, and purpose through family-based care and community transformation.
Village Of Hope
In the heart of the Backdoor community, we have a ministry center called Village of Hope where we host many programs, including: discipleship classes, the Jabulile Preschool, the HEM Project (sewing ministry). The primary focus is providing a safe refuge for all local children and to empower children and adults to live God’s destinies for their lives.
