 Iris Blue was born and raised in Houston, Texas.  As a rebellious teenager, she became involved in drugs and was arrested on charges of armed robbery.  After serving jail time, Iris was introduced to Jesus Christ by a young man who witnessed to her.  She “knelt down a tramp and stood up a lady.”  Iris has served as a Mission Service Corps volunteer since 1980.

 Jenny Broughton - Orphaned at age 11, Jenny Broughton was separated from her brothers and sisters and lived in the South Texas Children’s Home until she graduated from high school.  She faced more tragedy years later with the death of a brother and sister-in-law and the unveiling of some dark family secrets, but these events have not defined Jenny.  She credits Jesus Christ with the healing of her heart and life and delights in traveling the country telling others how Jesus can do the same for them.
