Mid-life crisis? Empty-nest syndrome? Retirement? If you are entering any of these or other milestones, " It's Never Too Late with God!" will inspire, inform, and invigorate you. At the age of 64, Helen Dexter entered Hebron Ministerial Institute (now Zion University) in New York as a full-time student. After graduating two years later, she responded to God's call to go to northern India. Overcoming fear and fatigue, fighting pestilence and poverty, encountering new cultures, customs, and climates, Helen established a women's Bible school, an orphanage for girls, and a medical/feeding program for lepers in the poorest parts of northeast India. Her work included not only developing and teaching programs but also purchasing land and overseeing construction of buildings. This book is a fascinating blend of life in India, life as a missionary, and life lived seeking and acting on God's will. It's a testimony of God's guidance, intervention, and care of the faithful. A modern-day ACTS unfolds as the Gospel is brought to a far-off land. Signs and wonders still abound when the word of God is revealed for the first time in remote areas. In a conversational and anecdotal style, "Aunty Helen" shares her late-life journey. Footnotes, photos, and an index complete this testimony of a life lived as it was intended. She writes: "So often, the way the Lord uses us appears unimportant - as we go about helping here and there, seemingly unnoticed. I have learned, however, that there is no such thing as a small work for Him. For little is much when God is in it! . . . When you are in the will of the Lord, doing what He has asked, there is truly an ability to cope with all sorts of things . . ." "It's Never Too Late with God!" inspires anyone of any age seeking God's will for their lives and gives hope that He will guide them every step of the way.
