It is with great sadness mixed with joy that we said goodbye to our brother Forrest Henson on Friday. He was a good friend and an active board member for BiblicalTraining.org. I have never seen anyone who lived his life so totally for the sake of Jesus, his kingdom, and the downtrodden in Houston, India, and Africa. Our administrator, Rebekah, wrote this tribute:

"I will miss Forrest greatly. I really believe “well done my good and faithful servant” is how he was greeted by his Savior. His empathy for those in physical and spiritual need has always been something that reflected God’s image. Whether it was helping people in his Houston church rebuild after Hurricane Harvey or his urgency about sharing God’s Word with people in India and his concern for the spiritual growth of Indian pastors, he was someone I was excited to talk about with my daughters and husband. He will be tremendously missed by many. His wife Anne, the rest of his family, and his friends remain in our prayers. My life has been deeply enriched by having known and worked with Forrest Henson Jr. I look forward to seeing him again."

"Just went to my friend Forrest Henson’s funeral. He loved Jesus till the last minute. When the nurse was giving him at-home hospice care he was trying to fix his computer so he could donate it to missions. Then when he knew his time was coming to an end he said, “I love Jesus and I can’t wait to meet him.” He told our pastor, “The greatest honor is to be a servant for Jesus!” I was so blessed to have him as my role model for service. Really inspired me to serve with every breath I have left on earth and never stop till God calls you home!"
