Brad Forgy World Bible School - Personal Study Helper

Biography

I was born in Nashville, Tennessee in 1951.  My wife Jane and I have a stepson, a daughter-in-law and a granddaughter. I practice as a medical-surgical nurse.  I am blessed to have been computing since 1988, and I've been a WBS teacher since 1995. 
 

Spiritual Background

In 1965, I was baptized into Christ.  Since then, I have ministered in several ways here in Tennessee: God has used me as a local minister, a counselor, a nurse, a Bible teacher, and served on both a missions' committee and a local evangelism 
committee.  I have also participated in several mission trips.
 

Favorite Bible Verse

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. " -Philippians 4:13
 

Why I am a WBS Teacher

I am able to obey the great commission (Matthew 28.18-20) from here in Memphis and I am grateful for this opportunity. I have enjoyed communicating with hundreds of people from many places inside and outside of the USA.  The Internet gives us a great opportunity to obey the great commission as we meet people we would never have met without it!
 

Campaigns

God has allowed me to take part in spreading the message to people in Virginia, east Tennessee, the Ukraine, and twice in India.
 

Hobbies / Interests

I enjoy Bible study, family time, reading, computing, collecting art, teaching, physical fitness, and travel.  I also serve as a Big Brother and enjoy my Little Brother.
 

Favorite Study Topics

I love to study suffering and joy.  I have seen much suffering as a minister and nurse and see it as a universal experience.  In Job and in the New Testament (especially in the life of Jesus, Romans, 2 Corinthians, Phillipians, James, 1 Peter and Revelation) we see God's provision for our hope and joy in the midst of our suffering.  The realization that we can suffer and possess joy at the same time is wonderful and true (John 16.33)!
