About Us
About Iris Johannesburg
Iris Johannesburg is a Christian missions family committed to living out the Great Commission in the heart of South Africa.
We exist to love Jesus deeply and to make Him known through lives of obedience, humility, and service. We believe the gospel is not only something to be proclaimed with words, but something to be lived daily — through presence, compassion, faithfulness, and surrender to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
As we walk among the poor, the broken, and the overlooked, we trust that God is already at work. Our desire is simply to join Him — loving people where they are, building genuine relationships, and pointing hearts to Jesus. We believe lasting transformation flows from intimacy with God and faithful presence with people.
Iris Johannesburg is part of the Iris Global family, while being deeply rooted in the local Johannesburg and South African context. We seek to serve this city with humility and hope, trusting God to bring healing, restoration, and new life through radical obedience.
What We Do
Community outreach
We go where Jesus would go — into communities, onto the streets, and into places of need. Our outreach is rooted in relationship, compassion, and long-term presence.
discipleship & training
We walk with people in discipleship, teaching them to hear God's voice, live in obedience, and make disciples who make disciples.
Children & youth
We invest in the next generation — creating safe spaces for children and youth to encounter Jesus, grow in faith, and discover their identity and calling in Him.
missions & evangelism
We are committed to sharing the gospel with boldness and love, trusting the Holy Spirit to lead and transform lives — one person, one family, one community at a time.
Mentorship & counseling
We walk alongside individuals through one-on-one mentorship and pastoral care, offering guidance, prayer, and support for those navigating life's challenges.
Pray with us. Give with us. Serve with us.
Partner with us
Pray
Ministry begins and ends on our knees. Your prayers are the foundation that sustains our work and connects us to God's power and provision. When you pray for us, you become an essential partner in everything God is doing through our ministry. We invite you to stand with us, intercede for our needs, and allow us to lift yours before the Father as well.
Give
Every gift—whether large or small—fuels the mission God has entrusted to us. Your financial partnership provides the resources we need to reach the lost, serve the vulnerable, and advance the Kingdom. When you give, you're investing in eternal impact and joining us in faithful stewardship of all God has provided. Together, we can do more than we ever could alone.
Do
God may be calling you to more than prayer and provision—He may be calling you to participate. Whether through short-term mission trips, volunteer opportunities, or using your unique gifts and skills to serve alongside us, there's a place for you in this work. Come and see what God is doing. Come and be part of the harvest.
