What is Harvest School of Missions Rio?
Harvest School of Missions Rio is a full-time mission school with the primary goal of teaching Christians to wholeheartedly seek the face of God, so they can love Him, glorify Him, and delight in Him forever. Our aim is also to awaken them to go forth and equip them to proclaim Jesus to all nations. He is our salvation, our prize, our reward, our inheritance, our destiny, our motivation, and our joy.
Jesus is absolutely everything to us and all that we need today and forever.

The Harvest School of Missions Rio is designed in two parts, giving you the flexibility to choose the experience that best fits your season. Applications are now open — don’t miss this opportunity.

There is a new generation of Christians and missionaries burning with love for Jesus, being sent across the Earth. They are the sincere saints with vast hearts beating in rhythm with the heart of their beloved King Jesus, carrying His glory to all nations.
Fearless and devoted, they know a love that knows no bounds and are ready to run into the darkest places to bring the lost, the dying, the poor, and the broken into God's kingdom.
Jesus came with an overflowing love for every individual and for the masses. Now, we must do the same: give attention and love to every person. Come and have a transformative experience with missions and missionaries, learning intensely and practically in an environment filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit and the presence of God."
With much love in Jesus,

What is Iris Global?
Iris Global is an organization driven by the love of God, dedicated to serving those in need through worship, outreach, family, education, relief, development, healing, and arts. Its primary mission is to seek the face of God, glorifying Him and delighting in His presence eternally. They proclaim Jesus as their salvation, reward, motivation, and everything they need.
This school is an invitation to dive deeper into the river of life. Submerged in the presence of God, you will be touched, transformed, and strongly ministered to by the Holy Spirit.
God invites us to dive into His presence, which every day gives us new opportunities to go deeper, surrendering ourselves completely until we are fully seized by His presence and surrendered to His love.
We believe with all our hearts that during the school you will be taken to these deep waters, to a live encounter with God. We believe that the days in the school will result in a life of discovery and obedience to live out your missionary calling."
With joy and gratitude for your life,

Lives Transformed
At Iris Rio, we have seen countless students encounter God in a new way and step into their missionary calling with boldness. Here are some of their stories:
It is absolutely worth it to cross the world when the purpose is to encounter God in a fresh and life-changing way. In 2023, I took a leap of faith and joined Iris Global Mission School, and it became a turning point in my journey. There, I was equipped not only with the tools to be a missionary, but also with a deeper understanding of God’s call over my life. Today, I have the joy and honor of serving at Iris Zimpeto in Mozambique for the past two years. Every step has been a testimony that when you say “yes” to God, He takes you further than you could ever imagine.
