Iris Revival Church Nelspruit

Iris Revival Church, based in Nelspruit (South Africa) is affiliated to Iris Ministries Global, which was founded by Rolland and Heidi Baker in 1980. Iris is an international missions organisation that works tirelessly to bring the Kingdom of God to earth in all its fullness , but especially through their particular calling: to serve the very poor… the destitute, the lost, the broken and the forgotten.
Iris Revival Church was birthed prophetically through a series of visions. In 2010 Pastor Surprise had a vision in which he was holding many reins attached to three horses. In the vision the horses were being held back (not yet released) . In the second vision the horses were running free with fire in their mouths.
The last occurrence which released the vision was a comment Pastor Surprise’s wife, Tryphina made to him. She mentioned that she’d never walked down a red carpet before . Without much thought he immediately responded “You will walk down a carpet before nine days have passed”. To be sure, within nine days of speaking these words, local developers Jantie and Karen van Zyl offered Pastor Surprise and Tryphina the use of a small chapel on their property....and running down the centre of the chapel was a beautiful red carpet.
The first service in the chapel was held on the 16 January 2011. During a chapel service in March 2012 Pastor Surprise had another vision. He felt he was being constrained in one of the pews but upon opening his eyes there was nothing inhibiting him, however he at once realised the Lord was telling him the chapel was soon going to be too small to host the people and it was time to start praying for a larger premises. Within the same month Pastor Surprise felt the Lord put the question to him...” Are you ready to host the revival....by next year this time you will have experienced a major Visitation”
