The Genesis of Iris Latin America

It all started with a vision. Heidi and Rolland Baker, an audacious couple from Canada, felt a calling to serve the poorest of the poor in a remote village in Mozambique. Little did they know that their humble beginnings would pave the way for a passionate movement that would spread across continents.

After years of witnessing the transformative power of love and compassion, the Bakers decided to extend their reach beyond Mozambique. They set their sights on Latin America – a region known for its rich culture, vibrant spirit, and diverse communities.

This is the story of Iris Latin America's wild journey throughout twenty-six nations. What started as a dream to travel to unreached tribes in Peru grew into a vision to visit every country in Central and South America, as well as parts of the Caribbean. The sole purpose would be to simply do the things Jesus commanded His followers to do: Heal the sick, preach the good news, and set people free.

In 2011, an international team of missionaries set out to complete this vision. Dreaming for the impossible, the team witnessed deaf ears open, cancer healed, a woman walking out of a wheelchair, and so much more. Even in the midst of car breakdowns, robberies, sickness, and frustrations, God proved faithful in His power and love. Though the Lord performed many healings along the way, the team discovered that the simple love of Christ was far more important than any physical miracle, sign, or wonder.

This is the Iris Latin America team's story told through Caitlin Ann's eyes. She recounts their journey of trials and victories, dreams, community, healings, laughs, challenges, and experiencing the greatest miracle of all - love.
