While praying for revival awakening in 1967, Pastor Mark Bubeck
experienced an encounter with the Lord that thrust him into a
biblical study of spiritual warfare. That study led to the
writing of THE ADVERSARY in 1975. After the publishing of this
biblical study of the spiritual battles of life, numerous
counseling requests, calls from pastors seeking help and the
obvious increasing need created a personal desire in his life to
begin a center that would be devoted to counsel for the hurting
and to train others to minister to the spiritually oppressed.
Prayer for wisdom and divine guidance kept the matter before the
Lord.
In 1987 a generous gift enabled Dr. Bubeck to found a ministry
known as the International Center for Biblical Counseling (later
shortened to ICBC International). The Lord provided Dan Rumberger, a Christian clinical
psychologist to provide professional expertise in formulating
sound psychological principles. Jim Logan joined the staff in
1989 as the first full time pastoral counselor. Eventually, new centers were started in Indiana,
Colorado, and Texas. Over time, these centers have become
independent ministries and ICBC has focused its attention on
training a new generation of Christian workers in the principles
and practices of a biblically-balanced approach to spiritual
warfare, revival, and ministry to wounded hearts.
In 2005 the Lord led Dr. Marcus Warner to launch a new work
called Deeper Walk Ministries. The purpose of this new endeavor
was to establish a clear path to a deeper walk with God that
churches could use in discipling their people. Toward this end
Deeper Walk provides training in three areas:
(1) Bible basics: helping people get a handle on the Scriptures
as a foundation for growth
(2) Heart-focused discipleship: guiding people into the
perspectives and practices of Spirit-led living
(3) Root-level counseling: equipping people to identify and
overcome the obstacles to a deeper walk with God by dealing with
the battles and baggage of the past.
In 2007 ICBC International and Deeper Walk Ministries joined
forces to become Deeper Walk International. Together, these
ministries provide an array of resources and training
opportunities that help Christian go deeper in their walk with
God and find victory in the battles of life.
