Mama Heidi is a movie about Heidi Baker, a missionary to Mozambique.It is a remarkable documentary about the work she and her husband, Rolland, have done in Mozambique since the early 1990's. What comes across most clearly is Christ in her life--her actions, her temperment, her countenance. Below is an excerpt from their website.

For years we longed to get to Africa in fulfillment of our calling to prove the Gospel in the most challenging situation we could find. We wanted to see a continuation of "Visions Beyond the Veil," and believed with my grandfather that the most likely place to see such revival again was among the most unlikely! So we were drawn to Mozambique, officially listed at the time as the poorest country in the world.

A few days into my initial visit to Maputo, Mozambique's capital, I was offered an orphanage that no one could or would support, not even large churches in South Africa or European donor nations. It was horribly neglected and dilapidated, with eighty miserable, demon-afflicted orphans in rags. I thought it was a perfect test of the Sermon on the Mount. Our Father in heaven knows what we need. Seek first His Kingdom and righteousness, and these things will be ours as well... Take no thought for tomorrow. Why worry? Jesus is enough for us, for anyone.
