Heidi Baker is a Christian missionary, itinerant speaker, and the CEO of Iris Global, a Christian humanitarian organization as well as the author of several books on Christian spirituality. Heidi was powerfully called to the mission field at age sixteen when she was living on an Indian reservation in Mississippi as an American Field Service student. Several months after she was led to Jesus by a Navajo evangelist, she was taken up in a vision for several hours and heard Jesus speak audibly to her and tell her to be a minister and a missionary to Asia, England and Africa. When she returned home to Laguna Beach, California, she began ministering at every opportunity and leading short-term missions teams. She now resides with her husband, Rolland Baker in Mozambique, Africa where both of them continues expanding Iris bases worldwide, led by teams of missionaries and local leaders.
