BOB JONES HOMESAT

Home Education Satelite School
Academic Excellence in a Christian context

Home schooling your child requires more personal time and involvement invested in your child's education. The demands can be a wonderful opportunity for both your growth and your child's--or they can be a daunting challenge. But imagine providing engaging teaching for all of your children--simultaneously. Imagine having the resources to do chemistry experiments and the know-how to teach physics and advanced math. Imagine having instant access to home education workshops, Christian living seminars, and cultural programs for your family's enrichment. BJ HomeSat makes all of these possible through our advanced satellite network that brings our resources into your home. BJ HomeSat. It's like having a faculty at your fingertips.

GROWING FAMILIES INTERNATIONAL

Growing Families International - This ministry offers Parent Training Course materials. Faith and I have used Gary & Marie Ezzo's Growing Kids God's Way material to teach an 18 week course on parenting. We have been blessed as we have used this material to instruct Pastors, Missionaries, Church leaders and laymen who have come to us from various ministries here in NYC.

Table Talk Poster (PDF-774kb) - I designed this reminder of proper table talk because I found some of my words at the Dinner table were not edifying and my children were following in my footsteps. We need this reminder of what God considers proper conversation. The poster is Letter size. I printed it out on Epson Photo Quality Paper on our inexpensive Epson Stylus Color 740i InkJet Printer and it came out very attractive. You may download it free, print it and share it with your friends.

Family Love and Devotion (PDF-19kb)- Weekly Chart that assign's various weekdays to different ways to show family love and devotion. Designed from talk given by Christianna Reed at 1999 Knoxville ATI Convention. Have your children share around the supper table how they have shown family love & devotion to each other during the day. For example on Tuesday “Serve Day” have each of your children “share with you how they showed love and devotion to a brother or sister by Serving them.”
