On behalf of Vision Forum and the Phillips family I want to thank the leadership of this last week’s Massachusetts HOPE state home school conference for making it such an outstanding and blessed event. Special thanks to the many precious and enthusaistic families who brought such joy to the event. It seemed as if the spirit of the Lord was moving in an unusual and blessed way. Perhaps the most encouraging part of the weekend were the numerous testimonies of families who had been turned around from pending divorce, and children who were reunited with their fathers and mothers, because of the message of family renewal, biblical manhood and womanhood, and multi-generational faithfulness.

Above is the William Levi family. Mr. Levi, is a Sudanese Christian who has been active in ministry to the people of his nation, and has worked with my brother Brad Phillips, president of the Persecution Project, which is active in Gospel mission work in the Sudan. I spoke at length with Mr. Levi who is at least a third or fourth generation Christian. He shared with me his intense love for his father who was brutally martyred by the Muslims, as was his mother.

My son Joshua is a wonderful personal assistant. Above, he checks out a screen just prior to my talk on “The Visionary Father’s Role in Home Education.” Other messages delivered included “The Wise Woman’s Guide to Blessing Her Husband’s Vision,” “Jamestown and Plymouth: America’s Legacy of Providence and Perseverence,” and “Defending the Faith Against Creation Comrpimises.”

What an encouragement to be with my friend Chris Klicka of Home School Legal Defense. Chris is one of the great home school heroes of the last twenty years, having personally invested his life in building this movement for the glory of God. Today, he suffers from MS, but has used the spiritual lessons and challenges of that experience to encourage tens of thousands to be victorious in Christ and to remember the most important things.

I am always so blessed to have a wonderful team at the Vision Forum. Above are some of the men who travelled to serve at the Mass Hope conference.
