Henry Ford once said, “Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success.” The homeschool movement began with a group of determined families that boldly decided to follow passages like Deuteronomy 6:7 and take the education of their children into their own hands. Those families fought legal difficulties and public scrutiny, but their numbers began to multiply and they created state organizations and localized support groups. The state groups became legal advocates that, state by state, worked through many tough battles to legalize homeschooling nationwide! Today the homeschool movement flourishes because a few people followed biblical truths and the pattern that Henry Ford identified many years ago.

Our genesis as a movement stems from God’s blessings, coupled with sheer determination and willpower of a few to get things done! One of God’s first observations of His creation was that people are never meant to be alone, which I discuss in a previous blog post. “Togetherness” is what has made the homeschool movement so successful over the years and it is what will bring us through any hardships caused by the COVID-19 virus!

Just like the success of the early homeschool movement came from collaborated teamwork, equipping the next generation for Christ by means of homeschooling will also require teamwork. The success of your child’s education ultimately falls on you and your child, but you have a team of friends, family, church, state organizations, and publishers that are all here to support you. Our goal amidst all of the COVID-19 implications is simple, to be a help in your child’s education in any way that we can. And remember, none of us saw the events of the last several weeks coming - none except God, and God is bigger than this virus, and God is bigger than all of the worry and anxiety that it has created! May God bless you with strength, wisdom, and protection as you seek Christ and school your children.
