REMEMBERING A GREAT WOMAN OF GOD:
."This job has been given for me to do. Therefore, it is a gift. Therefore, it is a privilege. Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God. Therefore, it is to be done gladly, if it is done for him. Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God's way. In this job, not some other, God looks for faithfulness."
For the last decade of her life, Elisabeth suffered from dementia and once again, a woman who had lived a life of daring surrender to God's will entrusted herself to His plan. Elisabeth went home to be with her beloved Savior on June 15, 2015. Though the Christian community mourns the loss of a faithful saint, the message of her life has left an indelible imprint.
.During this time, many were led to Christ—the outcome she and Jim had so greatly desired.
.Elisabeth eventually returned to the United States and settled in New Hampshire. There she became a bestselling author, drawing heavily on her experiences in Ecuador. She also taught at Gordon Conwell College.
She married a professor at Gordon-Conwell named Addison H. Leitch who died of cancer in 1973. Elisabeth was once again a widow. Four years later, she met and married a hospital chaplain named Lars Gren, and they were married for the rest of her life.
