Voices Of The World Speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves

Our Missionaries

Heller Family

Jonathan and Layne Heller were sent to Maputo, Mozambique in November of 2009 in a strategic move to care for the hurting and dying people in the area, especially those who die alone without family or friends around. They are sent to speak for these precious dying men, women and children, and the family they leave behind who cannot speak for themselves.

They serve and lead Casa Ahavá, a 17 bed home for cancer patients who find themselves far from friends and family on treatment and fighting for their lives. They spend their days helping cancer patients live as comfortably as possible, as healthy as possible and as loved as possible. Jonathan and Layne live with their four daughters, Anaya, Jovie and Karasi along with the cancer patients of Casa Ahavá.
