DON and ELIZABETH KANTEL are veteran Iris missionaries. We first visited the Zimpeto base near Maputo in March 1999. Iris was still in its relative infancy then, with 400 children in two centers and about 300 churches. The favor and blessing of God have been poured out in superabundance over the ensuing years, with the number of new church plants exploding to more than 7,000--and over 5,000 homeless children being cared for in Iris centers or churches saturated with the love of God for “the least of these.”
Since October 2005, we have been at the Pemba base in Northern Mozambique, which is Iris’ fastest growing center.
