The former International Center for Biblical Counseling has recently moved to change its name to Deeper Walk International. It was originally established to operate counseling centers, and three such centers are operating today. The board of ICBC has recently redefined the objectives of the ministry to include an emphasis on Christian discipleship and to focus on provision of materials for use by churches and by lay and professional counselors and on offering training in counseling based on a biblical spiritual warfare worldview and on a clear concept of emotional and spiritual maturity. With these objectives in view, a conference will be held to provide stimulus and training in these areas. The theme will be “Heart-focused Discipleship: Ministering to Wounded Hearts.” The speakers and workshop leaders may not be familiar to you, but they are all well qualified to speak on their topics. Dr. Karl Lehman,MD, for example, is a psychiatrist from Evanston, Illinois, who has done very significant work in integrating Christian faith with therapy. If you have questions about the conference, go to http://www.icbcinc.com/ or call Dr. Tim Warner at 747-4766
In the past, a number of FCC members have participated in the ICBC (Deeper Walk) conferences which have often been held in Sioux City, Iowa. The close proximity of the 2008 conference makes this an outstanding opportunity for all FCC members. Jan King comments on her past participation in the conference... "exceptionally helpful with practical skill training .... thankful it is closer this year" ...
Dr Tim Warner will eventually have brochures....in the meantime, please go to this link to download more information.
