One of our missionaries, Daryl Martin, was recently killed in an accident while serving in Malawi. Daryl had been at the Iris Africa ministry base with his wife and two of his sons since September of 2009.
David Morrison, the Director of Iris Africa in Malawi, recently wrote this tribute to Daryl:
Daryl was a man who loved adventure and had childlike energy and enthusiasm. He was determined, no matter what the cost, to accomplish God's will. He had courage--courage imparted to him from the Kingdom of Heaven.
Daryl was a missionary marked by dedication and commitment to help Malawians achieve a healthier way of life and sustainability. Above all else Daryl accepted God's call to preach the Gospel so that the people would understand life from God's perspective and come to know the great saving grace and love of our Lord Jesus Christ. He preached in village churches and taught at the Bible school. He led Bible studies with young men as well as older men, spurring them on in their relationship with Jesus Christ.
Daryl put his faith into action. He was involved in restoring boreholes in the villages so that people would have clean water. He hosted medical teams, particularly eye medical teams, so that the people of southern Malawi would have healthier eyes. He himself became an experienced "lay" physician with the ability to diagnose patients with trachoma, so that by appropriate treatment, blindness would be prevented. Also very importantly, Daryl trained Malawians in trades such as chicken and crop farming so that families would have greater sustainability.
If we were to count how many Malawian people were impacted by Daryl's life, it would run in the thousands. Daryl's obedience to the Lord has brought forth great Kingdom fruit.

More information about a memorial service for Daryl will be available when his family returns to Arizona later this week.
Daryl is survived by his wife, Rebekah, and four children - Averi, Joshua, Jonathan, and Caleb. You can help the Martin family by donating to the Martin Family Memorial Fund. Deposits can be made at any Wells Fargo Bank. Use account number 5739784279.
Praise the Lord! We had our first church service in the new building this last Sunday! Thank You, Jesus, for Your faithfulness in providing not only the building, but also a number of generous volunteers to assemble it (which is no small feat)! We had a full house on Sunday. Each row of metal folding chairs and wooden benches were filled and in each seat was a smiling heart, anticipating what God would do in this exciting service!
As the worship leader approached the wooden stage, we all stood, ready to worship our generous Lord. The songs of the congregation rang throughout the entire campus. I don't believe they have ever sounded so beautiful! After about an hour of worship time, Pastor Guy took the stage, inviting Debbie Booker to come up as well. She brought us an encouraging word from Ephesians 2:19-22:
Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God's people and also members of His household, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets, with Christ Himself as the chief cornerstone. In Him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in Him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by His Spirit.
With Christ, Himself, as our chief cornerstone, this building is destined to be a place where many are saved, healed, and freed in Jesus Name! It is a privilege to be a part of what God is doing in this nation. God loves these people. We love these people. May He be glorified in our midst as we continue building this meeting place that more lives may be touched by His Spirit!
