Thank the Lord for a generation of parents with vision, and sons and daughters with the committment to covenant and biblical patriarchy to embrace such a vision. It was an honor to be asked a week ago to officiate in the wedding of Micah Wakefield and Holly Kennedy, two former home educators who certainly match the above description.

Norm Wakefield of Elijah Ministries has been an encouragement to many home educators, preaching the message of bold manhood. His son Micah once served as an intern at Vision Forum and through his fathers’ discipleship has grown to quite a man who has demonstrated faithfulness in the service of the Lord with his father’s ministry and in Mexico.

The Kennedy and Wakefield family gather for a few moments right after the conclusion of the wedding ceremony. The bride, Holly Kennedy, is an outstanding girl who has honored her father in his work with their families ministry Only a Servant Ministries (OSM) which has made Gospel inroads in Haiti and Mexico. The bride and groom represent yet another couple who have gone to the alter in purity, having never kissed before their wedding day.
