Last week, Christian Heritage Home Educators of Washington founder Michael Bradrick presented the families of Washington with a memorable event that cast a vision for a holy, persevering, and visionary homeschool movement focused on the Crown rights of Christ in every area of life and thought, and which exhorted families to persevere in Christ.

I was deeply grateful for the opportunity to bring eight vision messages: “From Fear to Eternity”; “How to Think Like a Christian”; “Victories: Moments Small and Large Which Define Christian Parenthood”; “Persevero! The Indefatigable Spirit of George Washington”; “Secrets of Successful Multi-Generational Visionaries”; “Uniting Church and Family”; “Providence and Perseverance”: “God’s Message of History to Our Children”; Later that evening I addressed homeschool leaders at a private gathering and presented a timely message entitled: “Toxic: Seven Poisons Which Threaten the Health of the Homeschool Movement—and Their Antidotes.”

From beginning to end, the spirit of the event was characterized by gratitude to the Lord and hope for the future. What an encouragement to my staff and me! Especially wonderful were the many testimonies we received from families who shared that they had sought reversal surgery, or simply opened their wombs, in response to the message that children are a blessing which they received from the teaching of Vision Forum Ministries. To meet these precious little children is so encouraging! May the Lord inspire more parents to view children as a blessing, not a curse. We praise God for every single one of these precious souls the Lord has created. Truly, children are a reward of the Lord!
