Encouragement from Michigan Homeschool Start-Up

July 15, 2006

Michigan Homeschool Start-Up had an excellent turnout for it's first meeting. Here is an update from Homeschool Start-Up leader, Dr. Richard A. Jones:

"Just wanted you all to know that 'Homeschool Start-Up' had its first meeting as scheduled on June 27th at the Holiday Inn in Livonia… The evening went very well. It was scheduled from 7pm to 8:30 but at 9 o'clock the panel was still taking questions and nobody was leaving. As moderator I finally had to close in prayer and invite those with still more questions to stick around and speak personally with our four engaging panelists. Even more surprising as it turned out was that our chief speaker, Israel Wayne, was the next to the last one to leave at 10:30 and he had a three-hour drive by car ahead of him! All agree that Israel was outstanding and that all of speakers added much to the basis for the guests' future homeschooling decisions. Pastor Gary Elfner, Ruth Ploski and I were pleased with the results. We would like to have seen more potential homeschoolers attend but many of my professional friends thought that 35 was a pretty good number for the first time out. Next time we'll pray that even more are moved to come."
