Biblical Foundations Newsletter July 13, 2019

Bible Study Houston, Biblical Foundations
Class Memory Verse July 2019
Sunday we were blessed by four of our class members: Bruce and Dee Dee Fincher, John Markle, and Charles Poor.  Each one presented to our class their experiences while seeking God's will.

Bruce and Dee Dee Fincher shared how through her journey with cancer God has opened doors to opportunities to serve Him.   One such opportunity is through a blog site that Dee Dee has been sharing her experiences which has provided encouragement to others.  You can visit and follow Dee Dee's blog here: http://deedeefincher.blogspot.com/

John Markle shared his "Amazing Journey" by presenting several examples of how God changed John's plans and placed him into service in ways he never dreamed of.  One such example: John had a desire to learn the Spanish language and after accumulating enough skill was ready to launch out into his first mission opportunity during the Houston Project aka Mission 1:8 to serve in the Spanish speaking community.  Well, The Lord had other plans as John found himself serving a community of Sudanese, his newly developed skill would have to wait.   He did later find a opportunity to put his new language skills to service during a mission trip to Guatemala.   It was during that trip John was asked to serve in Guatemalan prison  evangelism.   This experience put John on a path of serving in prison ministry to this day in our own community.

Dr. Charles Poor provided some very inspiring insights into his life's journey and how seeking God's will placed him into service in what was at the time a new field: Christian Psychology.  It was while on a summer college life retreat to Falls Creek in the Arbuckle Mountains of Oklahoma, Charles sought The Lord's will for his life.  Charles asked to spend the night away from the crowd, alone in his car seeking The Lord's direction for his life.  It was at that time The Lord gave him the insight to prepare for serving in what was this newly developing field of Christian Psychology.  Clearly, his career has included many exciting adventures and has been full of The Lord's blessings:  Treating nearly 30,000 cases while on staff at Baylor College of Medicine and assisting in the establishment of (clickable link) HFBC's Julianna Poor Memorial Counseling Center
Charles provided a handout which can be read below:
