LAST LESSONS #160 — STORIES — 10

“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.” Psalm 19:14

I promised you Becky’s daughter Jane’s story so here it is:

My daughter Jane laughed when I told her you (Rosemary) asked if she’d like a job! And then said she doesn’t know what she would blog about, though she is willing to write something for your blog. (I have yet to hear from Jane with a blog, but I imagine she’s too busy to write!)

Her school (HeritageAcademyKalispell.org) is using Rafiki Bible Study (RBS) Romans materials this year for 4th and up in class, and for families at home. Their high school students are also studying Romans and the teachers are using RBS materials for reference/discussion.

The Lord used her to begin this school about 20 years ago, though she didn’t know it’s what she was launching at the time. She’s a biology major / chemistry minor from Covenant College. Upon returning home to Montana, married and with a baby, local homeschool parents sought her out to tutor their students in math and science.

From those unassuming beginnings, she is now Head of School with about 270 students and 30 teachers. She’s also married and mom to 9 children herself, 2 of whom are grown (18 & 21), so she’s currently “only” homeschooling 7 of my grandchildren, ages 8 (adopted from China in 2017), 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 18 (also adopted from China in 2017).~Becky

P.S. from Rosemary: I am amazed at what Jane is doing as a result of her family’s emphasis on Bible study. Jane’s school is a hybrid homeschool/school that is classical and using some of the classical material that Rafiki produces. You may not start a school, but if you homeschool your children (or know someone who does) please contact Rafiki to see all the courses available to you, especially the Bible study.

P.P.S. I’m not suggesting that you adopt 9 children!!
