2004 marks a graduation point for the modern home school movement. It was twenty-one years ago in 1983 that home education began to emerge as a national movement. Of the great leaders who emerged in those early days of home education, some lost the vision, changed the vision, or just moved on. But many others remained faithful to the vision of family discipleship, biblical patriarchy, and multi-generational faithfulness. One of those early pioneers who continues to remain true to the biblical message, and after more than two decades perseveres in their home education, is the Michael Bradrick family of Washington state. This year, Vision Forum experienced the tremendous blessing of having twenty-year-old Peter Bradrick intern with out ministry. Peter emerged as one of the finest interns we have had the privilege of mentoring. Last week, the Bradrick family made a two-week trip to retrieve their son and fellowship with the saints in San Antonio.
