Iris Revival Church was begun by Ps Surprise Sithole, Pastoral Director of Iris Global. In a vision Ps Surprise had seen the mountains around Nelspruit full of horses breathing fire over Nelspruit.\u00a0Obeying the voice of the Lord to position himself for revival in Nelspruit, he moved with his family from Back Door where they already had an established church and ministry, to Nelspruit\u00a0It wasn\u2019t long after,\u00a0 that he was approached by a friend\u00a0 to come and see a property they had purchased and that there was a Chapel on the property.\u00a0As the Chapel door was opened it revealed a red carpet running down the aisle to the alter. Ps Surprise and Tryphina his wife stood in amazement as they looked at the carpet, as only the day before she had said she would like to walk on a red carpet and Ps Surprise had said he would take her down a red carpet one day.\u00a0They took this as a sign from the Lord that this was where they were to begin their ministry in Nelspruit.\u00a0On the 16th<\/sup> January 2011 the first service was held with a group of people Ps surprise had invited to join him and guests.\u00a0The remarkable walk this church has had over the last 6 years, has been amazing. God has equipped believers, \u00a0through a very competent Pastor,\u00a0 to rise up in their callings and to be released into their ministries.\u00a0As the winds have blown and the tempests have raged,\u00a0 This little congregation has stood on the Rock that is Jesus and learnt to love and forgive.\u00a0Called to be an Apostle and Prophet,\u00a0 Ps Surprise has encouraged the church to embrace these callings in their lives and there has been vast growth in many of the people who attend and serve in the congregation.\u00a0The heart of this church is to make a difference in their homes, City, Nation and the World.\u00a0To this end we are excited to see the Spirit move in our midst and to take all involved with IRC to the next level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
