In 1924 at age 56, Bertha Hummel Cox left her comfortable life in Wisconsin to become a missionary for indigenous tribes in the Amazon rainforest.

But finally, in her 60th year, Bertha began her ministry for people who she believed "would be made whole by the Lord's grace."

It's a tribute to a woman whose remarkable accomplishments remind us that the only thing standing between us and our goals is fear...of the unknown, of sacrifice, of ridicule, of failure.
