Heather Anderson’s life began with rejection, insecurity, and pain—but God transformed her story into one of bold faith and global impact. In this powerful interview on Unsung Heroes, Heather shares her journey: from a broken childhood to finding Christ in Texas, pioneering churches with her husband Andy, and then spending two decades on the frontlines of revival in South Africa.

She opens up about:

• Childhood rejection and bullying
• Her radical salvation in San Antonio
• How she overcame fear on the mission field
• Planting churches in violent townships of South Africa
• Raising children while pioneering and pastoring
• Finding new purpose back home through jail ministry
• 
  
• Heather’s story is raw, real, and filled with hope for anyone who has wrestled with rejection, fear, or insecurity. Her life is proof that God can turn brokenness into fruitfulness and rejection into revival.
