White River
“For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 1:6 (NASB)
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.
We are raising up a generation of African children of purity, passion, and purpose through family-based care and community transformation.
[Sponsor a child through our Stop for The One sponsorship program]
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.

We are a small team of volun...
