Bertha

I want to share the life and ministry of Bertha with you.  The calling of God came upon her life at the wonderful age of seventy.  She would for the next twenty years visit Baptist pastors at every opportunity that God gave her.  Very small in physique and thin as a rail, she was a bomb shell when it came to what God had called her to do in the last twenty years of her life. She would ask the pastor [in his private chambers] if he had any unconfessed sins in his life. She had been saved as a young woman, married and raised a family.  At the age of seventy she had the desire to speak to pastors about their walk with the Lord.

Old age and health problems that come with it, didn't detour her from God's calling.  I wanted to share her life with you so we might become inspired to do whatever the Lord has called us to do.  You might be called to pray for your Grandchildren daily or you might be sent to the streets of Las Vegas to witness.  Whatever the call, God has given it to us and will give us the strength to do it.  

Today Bertha would be 119 years young.  May we all be filled with the God-given courage that she had.  There are many women who have done wondrous things, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised...Proverbs 31:30.
