Fleeing the deadly racial war in Rhodesia, Africa, Robert felt the strong call of God on his life. That call would take him to Australia, a marriage of racial reconciliation (Janet), and then to the U.S., leading a global radio ministry. Now, they watch son, Stephen, and daughter-in-law, Annaly, honor God with their gifts and raising the next generation of believers, Harmony and Elijah.
There is going to be a riot here and someone is going to be beat up. – Robert
I lived in fear. I did not want to leave the house. – Annaly
“For our momentary, passing trouble, is producing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all measure!” 2 Corinthians 4:17
I told her, “You are going to marry me.” – Robert; I don’t think so. – Janet
The dentist yanked them out. He was so mad. – Robert
In his country Zimbabwe, they had a war between the blacks and the whites. – Janet
Black people don’t marry white people. – Robert
Son, have you been writing your promises? – Stephen
He told me the vision he had had of me, but I did not think that was me. – Janet
Shocked. She was paralyzed. Black guy, never meet before, going to marry me? How would you handle that? – Robert
I rejected it. I said, “No, no, no.” – Janet
God, if this is you, you will take care of it. – Robert
You are a wolf in sheep’s clothing. – Robert
God kept working on me that He was in it. – Janet
I lost a State Championship. I let my kids down. – Stephen
David in the Bible. It was a dysfunctional family. – Robert
There were times where they did want to rebel, when they got older, and they did. – Janet
That was the greatest test in my life. People that love you the most, hurt you the most. – Robert
The more we’d pray, the worse it got. – Robert
What did I do wrong? – Robert
You wanted everything to be perfect and it wasn’t always perfect. – Janet
My flesh side, my stinking thinking I thought do this, then I thought no that wouldn’t be right. If there is a God, He has to change them and turn them around. – Robert
We had to pray them back into the fold. – Janet; We prayed a lot, I mean, a lot that God would speak to them, change them. – Robert
Sometimes we try to do more than what humans can do. Only God can change the heart. Only God can fix a family. – Robert
We allowed God to work in their life by praying and loving and accepting them at the point they were at and ministering to them as we could. For them to understand, we still love them. – Janet
After I came to the end of my anxiety, my wanting to fix them. After I failed at that, it was like okay God, I leave it in your hand. The moment I let go. God did it. So sometimes we are in the way of God, hindering Him from doing it. – Robert
One thing He showed us is don’t try to force them, because it just makes them more determined to do the opposite. – Robert
Pray the seed sowed would transform them and bring them back, which is what happened. – Robert
I made a decision that I was not going to be flying around the world doing big things and abandon my family. – Robert
Because I have learned the difference between a religion and a relationship. I have really focused on that with our kids. – Annaly
Like trying to translate God’s word into how it relates right now in their life and encouraging them to pray, when they are worried about something or when they want something or whatever it is they are dealing with, just to pray about it. – Stephen
I think the greatest thing a parent can do is plant seeds. – Stephen
If you stay faithful to giving them a foundation, they will go back to what they were raised on. – Stephen
People have a mental understanding of the Lord, but if you haven’t experienced Him yet you don’t know Him in His full power. – Annaly
In my mid-twenties I got to a point where I was very fearful. I lived in fear. I didn’t want to leave the house. – Annaly
God said, “Begin to believe my Word.” And I said, God, what does that mean I’ve believed your Word my whole life. And He said, “Begin to believe my Word.” The following days He revealed His promises to me. Scriptures were no longer something I mentally heard and understood at church, but it was something I said – this is for me, I have the peace of God. I learned through that about the living active power of the Word of God and how it transforms you. – Annaly
Destiny is not by chance. You choose to obey. You choose to follow God. Destiny is by choice. – Robert
What God says He will do. He does it. And I have seen it over and over and over how God is faithful. – Janet
The world is coming so hard for our Biblical values and our Christian world views. They (our children) are going to have to be defenders of the faith before I ever had to be a defender of my faith. – Stephen
All we are doing now as parents is preparing them. – Stephen
God wants you to live a fulfilled life and everything for that is in the scriptures. – Annaly

Fleeing the deadly racial war in Rhodesia Africa, Robert felt the strong call of God on his life. That call would take him to Australia, a marriage of racial reconciliation (Janet), and then to the U.S., leading a global radio ministry. Now, they watch son, Stephen, and daughter-in-law, Annaly, honor God with their gifts and raising the next generation of believers, Harmony and Elijah.

The dentist yanked them out. He was so mad. Robert
In his country Zimbabwe, they had a war between the blacks and the whites. Janet
Black people don’t marry white people. Robert
Son, have you been writing your promises? Stephen
Listen my son to your father’s instruction, do not ignore your mother’s teaching. Proverbs 1:8
The fatherly advice in this phase of life changed my relationship with the Lord so much. Stephen
He said, Son, I am going to give you the steps that have transformed my life and belief in God. Stephen
Dad, can you just pray for something good to happen to me, can I use that card? He said, No, son, this is you and your walk with the Lord. Stephen
He gave me the guidance to find my walk with the Lord. He gave me the guidance to rely on God through a point in my life that I wasn’t ready for, I wasn’t prepared for, but he was patient. He was kind. He was loving just like our loving Heavenly father and in it I found God’s love. Stephen
I don’t know how my dad could go about his life without my mom. It’s a crazy story, but it’s a match made in heaven. Stephen

He was just my dad. He does go in his closet and prays a lot, but other than that he was just my dad. – Stephen
I was born in Rhodesia (Zimbabwe). I come from the royal family that the British took the kingdom from. I was prophesied over in my mother’s womb. These 10 American missionaries from Azusa street laid hands on her and said you are going to have a boy, name him Robert, because he is going to take the message of the Jesus Christ to the nations. – Robert
I am from Australia. When I was 23, I felt like God was leading me to go to Bible school to be an instrument that God could use on the mission field. – Janet
I wrote a letter to God, if these missionaries were sent by you, send me another person, not from this country, to confirm what the missionaries said was from you. – Robert
God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things, if they just take God at his word. – Robert
Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; John 14:12a

The Bible tells us we are to be ready for Christ to come again; for example in Matthew 24:44, “So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.” and in Matthew 25:1-13 with The Parable of the Ten Virgins and more.
Jesus also tells us we will see the signs of his coming and the end of the age like the fig tree tells the season.
The disciples asked Jesus, “…what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” Jesus said, “…learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door.” Matthew 24:32-33

4-time Grammy Award Winner, Luke Smallbone of for KING + COUNTRY, chats about the movie about his family called Unsung Hero: When David Smallbone's successful music company collapses, he moves his family from Australia to the United States in search of a brighter future. With nothing more than their six children, their suitcases, and their love of music, David (for KING + COUNTRY's Joel Smallbone) and his pregnant wife Helen (Daisy Betts) set out to rebuild their lives from the ground up. Based on a remarkable true story, a mum's faith stands against all odds; and inspires her husband and children to hold onto theirs.
I believe in the power of family. I believe the family is more powerful today than it has been in the history of the world and yet we do not value family quite as much as we should. If you want to change the world go home and love your family. That is the heartbeat and the blueprint behind this movie Unsung Hero. -Luke Smallbone
With everything in me there are three things I want to be successful:
I want to walk with Jesus. Not just follow but I want to walk with Him.I want to have a successful marriage andI want to be a good father.
If I do those three things, I don't think God cares about my occupation that much. But I think he cares about my obedience and my faithfulness.Through obedience you find your calling.Don't try to find your calling before your obedience.-Luke Smallbone
