Rick shares about becoming intentional in gathering for the purpose of training and equipping, rather than just meeting for conference teaching. We must have greater clarity for the times to come.

I doubt that I would ever have considered working with orphans and the poor in forgotten, nonstrategic corners of the world without my grandfather’s example. However, in his life I see the Good Shepherd, who lays down His life for the sheep (see John 10:11). May such glory invade all our lives until we see His face and are safely home with Him in His heavenly kingdom.

With much love in Jesus, Rolland.

Rolland and Heidi Baker founded Iris Ministries in 1980. Renowned miracles began to happen after they arrived in Mozambique in 1995. Building their work on serving orphans and those devastated by a terrible civil war, Iris has become known as one of the extraordinary missions in the world, with over fifteen bases and thousands of churches where orphans and needy children are cared for daily. Heidi has co-authored four books, and both Rolland and Heidi travel the world as conference speakers who have inspired thousands to take up their cross and follow the King.

For years, readers have collected their favorite books, CDs, and DVDs, including the four below. Get inspired and start sharing your thoughts with us today!

Reality: The Hope of Glory by Arthur Katz The four messages in this book lift the Spirit-led life out of the confines of every artificial, religious environment and set it in reality where it is tested and proven. The powerful and subtle seductiveness of the world, the absolute need for radical separation from the world and its spirit, the true meaning of obedience in a world full of reasons to despair, and the triumph of true faith are some of its themes.

This book points toward end-times when a life lived wholly by God’s Spirit will be the minimal condition for being able to stand. It is therefore a bold challenge to every lesser version of Christian life and a powerful inspiration to those who will not settle for less than God’s reality.
