Marie had an extensive ministry in reaching out to people in her community and
she had scores of Bible studies and discipleship groups over the years.

Marie went as a missionary to China in 1947 and was caught in the communist
takeover of that country. She applied for an exit visa but it was not granted
and she was the last missionary left at the Borden Memorial Hospital in North
West China. In July of 1951 another missionary in a closeby area appealed to
the authorities for an exit visa and he asked that Marie's be granted too. The
authorities approved the request and on August 1st they travelled by bus and
train for 10 days to escape to Hong Kong.

After she returned home she joined Intervarsity Christian Fellowship and met
Paul. They were married and have two children Deborah and Paul.

In recent years Marie spent her time revising Paul's bestselling books, "How
to Give Away Your Faith," "Know What You Believe," and "Know Why You Believe."

Paul Little was killed in a car accident in Canada in July 1975 and since then
Marie has carried on a wide ministry of teaching and practicing evangelism.
