Fallecimiento de Iris Morales

Karen Mason , Director of Special Events

It is with a heavy heart that International Ministries (IM) announces the passing of beloved missionary Rosa Iris Morales on Wednesday, July 28, 2010. Iris courageously battled cancer since 2007 and died peacefully surrounded by family and friends in a hospital in Houston Texas. Iris will be deeply missed by her husband, Mario, and their two sons, Seth Benjamin, age 17, and Mario Joshua, age 20, as well as by IM missionaries, IM staff and her friends and colleagues in Bolivia.

A native of El Salvador, Iris came to the U.S. in high school to escape the political instability of her home country. She met Mario a few years later and they married in 1985. She said, “As I go back in my memory through the years we have worked in South California, I realize that I have already been a local missionary.” Iris spent several years teaching and was recognized as “Teacher of the Year” in 1998 by the Parent Institute for Quality Education in California. A colleague noted Iris’ sense of humor – an important quality when working with children.

Iris and Mario were commissioned as American Baptist International Ministries missionaries to Bolivia in 1999. They served God at the Baptist Seminary of Cochabamba where Iris taught classes in Psychology. Together, Mario and Iris trained future Bolivian leaders by enabling these young believers to discover God’s will for their lives and ministry, as well as for the churches and society of Bolivia.

Dear Brothers and Sisters:

Today [7/28] at 1 p.m. in Houston, Iris, with much peace and tranquility, left to be with our Lord. Our hearts are filled with peace and serenity that our Lord Jesus Christ provides, and even though it is hard, we have hope in the Lord. We ask that you may do the same. As soon as we finish the funeral arrangements, we will let you know the details as soon as possible.

Blessings,

Mario Seth Morales
