An explosion and resulting fire in the home of John and Brenda Vaughn resulted in severe injuries to Mrs. Vaughn and her two-year-old daughter, Becky. Pastor Vaughn was completing his seventh month as pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Greenville, South Carolina when the accident happened. Mrs. Vaughn sustained third-degree burns over 65% of her body in an attempt to rescue her daughter Becky from what would have been certain death. Her two-year-old sustained third-degree burns over 95% of her body. Neither were expected to live through this tragedy.
Seven months later, Mrs. Vaughn was released from the South Carolina Burn Center in Charleston, South Carolina. Seven months after Mrs. Vaughn’s release, the Shriner’s Burns Institute in Cincinnati, Ohio, allowed Becky to return home. Becky is one of only a few children to survive an almost total body burn along with its many complications. With recuperation as the primary concern, two years quickly passed, and the issue of Becky’s schooling surfaced. Her father began to search for a school that would be able to minister to Becky’s special physical needs as well as her academic and spiritual needs. At the time, the Vaughn’s two older children were enrolled in a private Christian school where academics were presented in the context of a biblical world view. They set out to find such a school for Becky. Two of the three needs could have been met in the schools in the Greenville area. However, accommodations were not available to meet her special physical needs. After much prayer, consideration and counsel from individuals with relevant backgrounds, Pastor Vaughn began Hidden Treasure Christian School in August of 1981.
The school needs your help. On Thursday, November 14th, Hidden Treasures Christian School will be hosting their first Banquet of Light to raise needed funds to support their mission. Take a minute to listen to a recent interview with Dr. Carl Herbster and then support this important work as you can.

I sometimes talk about a Sunday Sermon I have heard as part of my “Pastor Profile” series. Dr. Charlie Boyd….one of the teaching Pastors at Fellowship Greenville…. has a way of “simplying” things so that I can understand them. The Bible is sometimes hard for me to understand and the thing that Fellowship Greenville does, that I appreciate, is explore whole books of the Bible.
Right now…they are in the middle of a series called…”Believe…The Gospel of John.”
On Sunday Pastor Boyd covered the story we have all heard….Jesus turning water into wine. Have you ever thought about Mary, the mother of Jesus, being a wedding coordinator? I had not, yet in this story Mary appears to call on her son to save this wedding celebration from a potential disaster when they ran out of wine.
Mary says, “They’ve run out of wine, do something.”
Jesus replies: “Woman, what does this have to do with me. My hour has not yet come.”
We know how the story goes from here….Jesus saves the day by turning the water into wine. Of course, this is one of a number of “miracles” Jesus performs to show his followers who he is. The point Charlie made in his sermon…..and the take away for me…..Jesus (and Christians) can have a sense of humor. Jesus does not consider any request “too small” or trivial. What do you need that you have been too afraid to ask for? Take a minute to listen to the segment from my show and I’ll give you a keyword to text so you can watch the entire sermon.[podcast src=”https://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/11363243/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/5474d5/” height=”90″ width=”100%” placement=”bottom” theme=”custom”]
