Thank you to all who prayed for us as we spoke this past weekend in San Diego. On the drive there, I felt the morning sickness lessen, and I knew it was due to you lifting us up to the Lord. We thank God for a fruitful weekend -- many families signed up for the newly starting Considering Homeschooling of San Diego. Susan Bram, a caring veteran homeschooler, is the perfect one to run that group, and she will be having meetings soon. We are very grateful for Christian Family Schools of San Diego, the big private biblical homeschooling group down there, for giving CH the best booth in their vendor hall and really supporting the idea that homeschooling -- raising a child in the Lord Jesus -- begins at birth.
On Memorial Day, we will be at the Home School Fair in Ontario. If you are in the Riverside area, come on by and help us man that table, if you can.
Please keep Considering Homeschooling of Orange County in your prayers, as well as homeschool outreaches stating in Southern California and throughout the nation. Most Christian families are eager to hear about homeschooling, but lack what they feel is a safe place to explore that option, and to meet like-minded friends. So many just put their child in preschool or public school, feeling they have no choice. If only there had been a place for them to get accurate information on homeschooling, and to get a running start while their kids were yet young!
If a Christian can create a safe, wholesome, Christ-centered home where a child can learn and thrive, that family should seriously consider homeschooling. Most sincere Christians can fit that bill. Every one of us with little kids knows someone else with young ones, too. Why not reach out to that friend or friends, inviting them to the CHEA Convention, to a Considering Homeschooling meeting or to a Christian homeschool support group meeting? Biblical homeschooling is not a 100% guarantee that a child will receive and follow the Lord. We are sinners, our kids are sinners and the world can be enticing. But, raising a child in the joy and knowledge of the Lord Jesus at home gives them a real good shot.
