The love of Jesus compels us to stop for the one in front of us. Our heart is for every precious child to be loved and cared for in very practical ways. In response to those who have been asking about a direct sponsorship program, Iris Ministries Canada is pleased to offer a simple program that will change the lives of some of our recovered treasures in Northern Mozambique.

IMC offers two sponsorships for donors to choose from:

     1.  A donation of 50.00 per month will provide partial support for one of our resident Mieze Village children currently living in our ‘Mieze Village of Love.’ For more information on this centre, please refer to our ‘Northern Mozambique Orphan-Village Projects’ on our African Projects page.   

     2.  A donation of 30.00 per month will provide partial but significant support for a village child, not living in our centre, but one that comes to our Mieze Village church. We currently have several hundred such children, all beautiful, precious, committed to Jesus, and very needy. Most live with only one parent in a tiny mud hut and most have many siblings. We work alongside our national leaders to identify the children that are the neediest and will most benefit from your assistance.

     •   Please be aware that 100% of every dollar donated will be directly applied to your sponsored child’s current needs, going towards providing food, clothing, and or schooling in that order, according to need.  The children we are targeting are generally of primary school age.

     •   You will note reference above to the term ‘partial’ support.  Note too that we are hoping to target children who seem capable of continuing their education at the post-secondary level, though a situation of exceptional need may override that consideration in some cases.  This program is being administered in the field by IMC missionaries Don and Elizabeth Kantel.

Upon contacting us with your program preference, we will provide you with a picture and brief profile of your sponsored child. In the interest of minimizing administrative management so  that we might meet the needs of more children, we are not able to commit to sending pictures and letters on any regular basis. Our sponsors will however receive regular emailings with news about Mieze Village and God’s work there, and we will strive to send a more personal letter with an update on your child to you on a yearly basis.  

If interested in learning more and/or to begin a sponsorship, please contact the the IMC office.
