Rolland Baker

Dr. Rolland Baker is a Christian missionary, and the President of Iris Global, a Christian humanitarian organization. He is a third-generation missionary born in China, and raised in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. He was greatly influenced by my grandfather, H. A. Baker, who wrote “Visions Beyond the Veil,” an account of the extended visions of heaven and hell that children received in his remote orphanage in southwest China two generations ago. He met Heidi in 1979 and they married six months later in 1980; they left for the mission field two weeks after that. They were ordained as ministers in 1985. In 1980 the Bakers founded Iris Global,[5] a non-profit Christian ministry dedicated to charitable service and evangelism, particularly in developing nations. In 1995 the Bakers moved to Mozambique in order to begin a new ministry focused on the care of orphaned and abandoned children. Iris Global negotiated with the Mozambican government to assume financial and administrative responsibility for a former government orphanage in Chihango, near the capital city of Maputo. There were roughly 80 children present.
