"Love the one in front of you and God will multiply that love."
-Heidi Baker

My prayer each day here in Mozambique is that the Lord will show me one person that i am to stop for. . . one child that I am to intentionally love. Can you imagine how powerful it would be if all of us lived that way? If all of us began each day asking the Lord to show us one person we could love at our school or at our work or at the grocery store? The love of the Father would multiply so rapidly!!!!
Heidi Baker, the founder of Iris Ministries, has built this ministry upon the principal of stopping for the one in front you. Today there are thousands and thousands of children cared for all over Mozambique and other African nations. Its not just the missionaries caring for the children either. Mozambican pastors are taking in orphans and caring for them because they've seen the power of love! It's an incredible thing!!!
