It is hard to believe another semester is complete, and the Advent season is here. I'm happy to share that our community is bursting at the seams, even after adding two Tutors! Families are increasingly embracing home education over government school options. I have had to travel more than usual this fall, and my wife is doing a great job balancing a hectic schedule. The children are really excelling, and I’m thankful for their Tutors and our Director.

I was recently at a summit for the Christian Employers Alliance. One speaker shared that if a child has five Christian adult mentors in his or her life, the chances of later walking away from the church were greatly diminished. It made me appreciate that my children won’t have five, but will have twenty or thirty, who will help influence them and their relationship with Jesus throughout their CC journey. This is one of the most powerful and easily overlooked advantages of community. I pray you experience this blessing and have joy in this season. Merry Christmas!
