For those of you in the religion department or have graduated, Dr. Fink, who basically trained the entire religion department and has been a mentor personally for me and thousands of others, is having some serious health issues.

At 77, the three major arteries to his heart -- 2 of them are 100% blocked and 1 is 50-75% blocked. Combined with other health issues, not a great situation. Medic could probably chime in a little better than me.

Anyway, pray that his health will be sustained and that the Dr. will find a solution.

no- you pretty much summed that one up.

Coronary artery blocks are no joke- and the risk factor/poss complications with catheterization on a 77 yr old is a lot higher than your average 45-65 yr old

serious situation there- let us know how he does

I'll certainly be praying for Dr. Fink. He was a tough prof, but only because he cared.

[PastorZack]

i'll be praying for him...quick, what was Fink 1:1 ?

[TDDance234]

All means all and that's all all means.

[PastorZack]

now, have you used that in a sermon?...i know I have

[TDDance234]

Actually, I have.. some profs here at LU would disagree with the statement. Anyway, just a testament to the work that Fink has done through this school. John McArthur called him "the greatest trainer of pastors in America" -- that is high praise.

Prayer for Dr Fink and may God bless him for many years to train more pastors

His grandchildren attend my school here in Michigan. He and his wife came up for Thanksgiving last year. It was really cool to talk with them. I had both of them for classes at Liberty. His grandchildren are great kids!

I will be praying!

His son Gary is a good church friend of mine.

I have mentioned his (attempted) influence in my life. When they discontinued the Children's ministries major, he suggested I go with ELMED or Nursing- why I then went with a general HUEC-now Family and Consumer Sciences- I don't know (but will discuss my suspicions in another thread some other time).

I was very concerned while reading this almost a month late. Any more news? Prayers from me.

[Jasmen8182]

Almost 2 decades later I'm faced with the choice of whether or not to go into nursing- my husband found an ad for a cert. program which could lead to a Masters in Nursing w/out having the undergrad.... We'll have to start a "career counseling" thread again (since you guys talked me out of law school a while ago).

prayers from the noke for dr. fink.
