New Zealand Home Educators Visit Vision Forum

Home education is the premier educational program of the past, and it is the wave of the future. It is the model for education which most closely patterns the principles and objectives of biblical discipleship and training. It is covenantal and character and multi-generational in methodology. Whenever Christian home education is on the rise, so too is Christian family revival. The two go hand-in-hand.

We thank God, therefore, for the burgeoning international home school movement. It has been my pleasure to travel to Canada and Japan to facilitate the rising home school movement, and to interact with home educators in a half dozen other nations. Because home education is first and foremost biblical in nature, it transcends national boundaries, languages, and cultural idiosyncrasies.

Last month we were pleased to have in our home for a few days Craig Smith, the leader of the New Zealand home education movement. Together with his wife and children, this outstanding brother has raised a no-compromise flag for family revival and educational freedom in his nation. A man of sound, reformed doctrinal heritage, Craig is one of the founding fathers of his nation’s home education movement. He needs our prayers and support.
