ways to give
The best ways to financially give are noted above. Iris Ministries Canada is our official covering, and we'd like to make the process as simple as possible for everyone led to give. For people outside of Canada, your best way to bless us financially is through the Canada Helps portal. That way all the accounting goes through Iris Ministries Canada. Please make sure you scroll down on the drop down menu for Tony and Laurie-Ann Copple, so the funds get to us. Bless you for considering partnering with us this way, as we stop for the one in Western Cape.
NOTE: For South Africans who may prefer to bless our ministry work via EFT, you can send a donation to Tony to his FNB account. You can EFT any amount to: FNB (First National Bank) Account Number 62757609494, Branch Code 200407
Account holder: Mr Anthony C Copple. We can arrange for a similar amount to be sent to Iris Ministries Canada, so everything is done well.

1. Prayer. We have set up a prayer email list and a newsletter list. If you'd like to join the newsletter list, please subscribe to our emails via the form at the bottom of our contact page. We also have a general contact form for one time messages. Bless you!
2. Financial giving. Canadians who are led to contribute towards our ministry work in Western Cape, can do so through the Iris Ministries Canada office (noted below). Please follow their directions on how best to give intentionally (this is posted near the bottom of this page). They have worked hard to make this process as simple as possible. Mailing address: Iris Ministries Canada, 10 - 1425 Abbeywood Drive Oakville, Ontario L6M 3R3 Canada Telephone: 905 847-7749 Email: info@irismin.ca Note: People outside Canada are able to contribute to this ministry work via the Canada Helps app. 3. Worcester, Robertson and Cape Town folk can invite us to share, teach and minister! You can also buy some of Laurie-Ann's art, which are one-of-a-kind originals. It's a win-win situation when you purchase her art - every penny is used to support our ministry here in Worcester. Four of these drawings are in the coffee shop at LeRoux and Fourie Vignerons on Route 60, west of Robertson. 4. Laurie-Ann will have resources available soon, such as Ways to Grow in God audio cds, a prophetic colouring book, and more. 21 Colouring sheets are available, as are 57 Ways to Grow in God devotionals on a 2 GB USB, for the cost of $25 Cdn or R300. 5. Laurie-Ann's medical costs for inflammatory breast cancer - NOT tax deductible through Iris, but directly to Tony (South African EFT, Paypal, Canadian email transfer). Please scroll to the bottom of this page. Note, we cannot give you a tax receipt for this type of gift - but Laurie-Ann can email you monthly art calendars or pass on resources as a token of gratitude.

While we encourage donors to give generally, if you are designating your gift to one of our projects or missionaries, please attach a note indicating where/to whom you would like the donation directed. We ask that you do not write this in the memo box of your cheque.
2. Pre-Authorized Payment (EFT Program)
A pre-authorized payment program for monthly direct withdrawal of funds from Cdn. bank accounts is available for those who desire to support Iris Ministries Canada on a monthly basis. View and print the form (PDF): IMC Pre-Authorized Payment donor form

Note: For Laurie-Ann's urgent medical costs in South Africa, we are raising funds in a different way.
Our insurance provider will not contribute any funds to these costs, and her doctors and oncologist strongly feel that it is not wise to move her until a certain part of her treatment is done. L-A has aggressive inflammatory breast cancer, which was investigated from July 19 - August 14, 2019 (with ongoing histology of the biopsies, and xrays). This was shortly after our return from our home visit to Canada, where we arrived back in South Africa on July 10th.
We had one hospital stay, a day-surgery, ultrasounds, x-rays, mammogram, biopsies, swabs/lab work, echocardiogram, doctor's visits, consultancies, antibiotics and pain medications. The diagnosis was given August 16, 2019. Follow-up has included port-insertion surgery, staging x-rays, post-surgery x-rays, in-surgery x-rays, and more. Next is chemotherapy, facility fees and oncologist fees over six months.
We need $6,000 Cdn. for costs incurred in July and August 2019, and will need an additional $10-11,000 Cdn. for cancer treatment/facility fees and consultancy fee (R14,861 per treatment). We also need to cover an undisclosed amount to our surgeon and doctors for their work.
Due to Canadian charity laws, our ministry (or 'work') funds from Iris Ministries Canada has to be kept separate. IMC is not a sponsor of L-A's medical needs. IMC is however, the sending agency of the work we do.
South Africans can contribute via Tony's South African account. via EFT to: FNB (First National Bank) Account Number 62757609494, Branch Code 200407 Account holder: Mr Anthony C Copple.
Canadians can contribute via our regular Canadian banking account by emailing kootenaysprayer@gmail.com
Others can contribute via Tony's Paypal via this link: https://www.paypal.me/WaystogrowinGod
Thank you for considering us and keeping us in your prayers!
