Welcome!

I’m a Missouri girl, but now…

My heart has been moved to respond to the Great Commission by being one who will do “the going” into all of the world. (Mark 16:15)Mama Laura loving on one of her many children

I have been called to be the love of Jesus to the people of Mozambique, especially the precious children.

I will be working to prepare an environment in which they are able to have creative expression in a variety of mediums, this in a land where access to simple crayons and paper is an event that is treasured.

These children were previously orphaned or abandoned, many beaten and violated. Now they have found a home and family in Jesus! I have dreams of God using this creative expression to touch, transform and heal hearts, to bring financial provision and even change nations!

I have committed to at least 2 years of service with Iris Ministries but feel called to travel back and forth on a regular basis. This will allow me the opportunity to do my artwork back in the US which I believe is to be a source of income for this ministry as well as to support others. I feel strongly that my artwork will enable me to be an advocate for the people of the nations to which I will travel. Furthermore, I have a deep desire to foster connections between children in the United States and the nations where He will send me.
