Heidi Austel was born into a first-generation, Christian family and accepted Jesus as her personal Savior at the tender age of five. She spent her early childhood on the mission field of Chad, Africa. Heidi has been married to her best friend, Bill, for over 36 years. Over the years, they have pastored the youth in two different churches and have served as the head pastor in two other churches. Living in the Pacific Northwest, they have four adult, married children and nine living grandchildren to date.

Heidi was diagnosed with severe clinical depression in 2003 which began the 12 most difficult years she had ever experienced. Suddenly, God healed her. But He taught her the most precious things about Himself during her illness: His love, kindness, presence, grace and mercy. Grace-saturated, gospel principles gave her the ability to bear up under such a difficult affliction. Her passion in life will forever be to use that period of suffering to broadcast the amazing grace of God and the glory of the gospel of Jesus Christ to the world.
