Heidi Baker is a modern day General of the faith. Many of you have heard the amazing stories and testimonies surrounding Heidi's life but for those who haven't, here is some of her story.

Rolland and Heidi Baker began Iris Ministries, Inc., an interdenominational mission, in 1980 and have been missionaries for the past 25 years. They were both ordained as ministers in 1985 after completing their BA and MA degrees at Southern California College in Biblical Studies and Church Leadership. Rolland is a third-generation missionary, born and raised in China and Taiwan. He was greatly influenced by his grandfather, H.A. Baker, a missionary in southwest China. His book "Visions Beyond the Veil" tells of the extended visions of heaven and hell experienced by the children in his remote orphanage.

Heidi was powerfully called to the mission field when she was sixteen and living on an Indian reservation as an American Field Service student. She was led to the Lord by a Navajo preacher. Several months later she was taken up in a vision for several hours and heard the Lord speak to her and tell her to be a minister and a missionary to Africa, Asia and England. When she returned home to Laguna Beach, California, she began ministering at every opportunity and leading short-term mission teams. Rolland and Heidi met at a small charismatic church in Southern California and married six months later after realizing they were united in their calling and desire to see revival among the poor and forgotten of the world.

Rolland and Heidi Baker do the stuff! What is read in the book of ACTS is actually seen in Mozambique: the dead rise, food multiply, blind eyes see, deaf ears hear, the lame walk and more. The manifest presence of Heaven on earth is happening in Mozambique through Iris Ministries as they show the Love and Glory of God to people all over the world.

Many Blessings!

Michal Ann Goll

Scripture - Mark 16:15-18,

"He said to them, Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.  And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."

"One Sunday in Pemba"

From Heidi Baker, May 17, 2006  

Sunday was a beautiful day.  Church was filled with singing, dancing Makua and Macondie friends along with many visitors from around the world.  I preached from Mark 16:15-18, "He said to them, Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.  And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."

In Mozambique, we see King Jesus protect us from great opposition as he promised in this passage.  During church, several people gave their testimonies. One lady had been full of demons and was told by her witch doctor to eat her family! She was severely sick and could not sleep. She would cut her arm and drink her own blood. When she came to church I would hug her and pray she would know the love of Jesus. Then one of our pastors visited her and burned all her witch doctor fetishes, and almost immediately she was freed and filled with the peace of Jesus. This morning her face was beaming with love, and instead of eating her family, they have become her friends!

The next lady had an even more amazing story testifying of God's grace and power to protect us all. She had been very ill with acute asthma for ten years. Her husband was sure she was a prostitute, and was going to divorce her. Recently she came to our church in Pemba as demonized as anyone we have seen. She was healed of asthma and set free instantly by prayer and a hug filled with the love of Jesus. Her husband was amazed by her transformation, although he continued to drink and fly into crazy rages. One day he had a 
demonic fit and died. After he was pronounced dead at the hospital, his wife began to pray in Jesus’ name. In a little over an hour he was raised from the dead -- and came straight to the church to ask Jesus into his heart! At the same time he was set free from the demons who had tormented him for years. This morning he announced with a huge smile that he has not had a drink of alcohol since that day.

Right after I preached on this passage, we went across the street and were baptizing new converts and many of our new children. What a joy to see the sunlight on their shining faces!  As they were baptized in the turquoise water, they were filled with the presence of the glorious Lamb who was slain.  Church lasted until three in the afternoon!  What a beautiful Sunday in Pemba.  For this I was created.

Thank you for loving and praying for us.  Thank you for remembering the poor.

Much love in Jesus,

Heidi
