From an enjoyable farm life in their beloved homeland, Rod and Ellie’s call, courage, and compassion set them in the middle of a tangled political morass. They found themselves facing enemy bullets, land mines, MiG bombers, hippo herds and cobras, and saw human suffering beyond description in a poor country torn by Communist takeover and civil war.

  The Hein’s heroic resistance to wrong, their tactful strategy, and most importantly, their daily obedience to divine direction, literally helped move a nation baptized in blood to the Peace Accord, Rome, 1992, ending a 16-year war.

  Whether on secret flights in Rodney’s Piper Aztec, or walking many dusty miles to reach the unreached, or going on dangerous wartime missions and world-media appearances, they desired neither credit nor recognition – only souls. They are reaping abundantly of both.

  Their gospel, preached in word and deed, brought a key political leader, a general, and other high officials to embrace the Cross, as well as multitudes in army camps, the bush and villages, where the noble young family – minus one – continues planting and harvesting in a better Mozambique.
