Item Description

If you ever wondered if caring people can make a difference in this world, then be sure to see this program.

In 1994, Heidi and Rolland Baker arrive in Mozambique amidst the hard times following the Mozambique Civil War. Even the Red Cross trucks were not safe and were bombed. Before coming to Mozambique, Heidi and Rolland worked as missionaries in Indonesia and China. After hearing about the conditions in Mozambique, they decided to go there and work with the poorest of the poor. They make a difference by adopting a dilapidated orphanage. The children had all kinds of diseases and sometimes even ate rats to survive. Heidi and Rolland began caring for the children, educating and feeding them.

During the hard times, sometimes even threatened by death, Heidi and Rolland experienced amazing miracles of healing for the blind, crippled and those afflicted with AIDS.

Currently, Heidi and Rolland provide three residential orphanages and schools, caring for 700 children. Hundreds more are cared for by many of their thousands of pastors. The Bakers serve the most forgotten, including street children, prostitutes, the imprisoned and those surviving off a huge city dump.

This documentary shows how Heidi and Rolland are a powerful inspiration for many in Mozambique, Africa and around the world.

5 stars uplifting video 2010-03-15

Reviewer: Eloise Patton

It's uplifting and encouraging to watch this video of faith in action - also challenging.

5 stars Excellent! 2010-02-22

Reviewer: B. Alexander

Excellent video documentary on the self-sacrificing life of Heidi, Rolland Baker and the workers at Iris Ministries as they take in hungry orphans, often diseased or abused -- providing food, shelter, care and loving them with persistant kindness, bringing healing to battered little bodies and minds. While miracles happen, the focus in on giving, loving unconditionally, and living a self-less life for the good of others, despite your own comfort and safety.

4 stars Video is really good but was scratched 2010-01-08

Reviewer: Sara Camille Thrash

I ordered this dvd used for my roommate for Christmas. We were so excited to watch it and learn about what is going on in Mozambique but were very disappointed when the dvd was scratched so that we had to skip over an entire section of the movie. Get the dvd but i suggest getting a new copy without scratches or fingerprints on it.

5 stars Mama Heidi , the power and love of God 2009-12-12

Reviewer: Ricky G. Sikes

This documentary really challenged my faith and raised my expectations of the power of God's love on this earth. Do not watch this and just discount what happens as unattainable for all believers. God has work for all of us to do and Heidi Baker tells us just what we can do. I bought her book for myself and my daughters. We all need to be challenged to love like Jesus.

5 stars One beautiful woman, one beautiful life 2009-09-23

Reviewer: Sue Christensen

If you believe that the Holy Spirit was only given for that first century to get the church started, this may not be for you. This is a story of the work of the Holy Spirit in Mozambique. Heidi Baker, how can I describe her? She is like Mother Teresa, fearless and beautiful. The movie is about her work in Iris Ministries, the organization she and her husband Rolland Baker started in that country. If your heart says "Yes" to God, and you are not totally in love with yourself and your creature comforts, this movie is for you. A totally different video from the usual. Let your heart be touched. Buy it.
