ENOCH of New Jersey e-Newsletter

June 2010

From the President’s Desk

Dear Friends,

First, I want to thank everyone who made this year’s convention a success: our volunteers (some who have worked for months), speakers, vendors and, of course, the homeschoolers of New Jersey.  We had over 1,400 attendees, which was the highest number in recent years.  We had well over 150 “Parents of Pre-schoolers” who came to hear workshop speakers, look at curriculum and I hope they spoke to “veteran” homeschoolers, and discovered - “Yes, I can homeschool my children”.   It was at one of ENOCH’s Homeschool Conventions at Fountain of Life Church that my wife and I resolved that we would homeschool our children.  Talking with many people over the years it was at that convention that others decided to homeschool. Ken Ham was the keynote speaker.

The ENOCH Board is busy planning next year’s convention. Pray for us as we are contemplating some changes. It takes plenty of time and money to put on the convention, so if you are thinking maybe I could help with the convention in even a small way, please e-mail me at president@enochnj.org.  Every little bit helps. You do not need to take on one of the “big” jobs, but there are many small jobs to do that we have needs in.  In addition, everyone can pray for us. That’s a “big” job that everyone can do.

On a personal note, our oldest daughter, Abigail, graduated from high school. This was a bittersweet experience for both my wife and me. Abigail was only three years old when we went to our first ENOCH convention. Now, thirteen years later, she has matured to a lovely young lady with a heart to serve others. I am thankful for God’s grace and mercy enabling our family to take this journey. We are not finished yet. I cannot wait to see what God has for us in the future.

Now that “school” is winding down for many of us, take advantage of all that New Jersey has to offer.  Glance at the “Field Trip Guide” that was in the convention program.  When you visit one of these locations, let them know you saw it in our “Field Guide”.  Get out and enjoy what New Jersey has to offer.

Have a great summer,
In His Service,
Rich Millward
President, ENOCH of New Jersey

Encouraging Words From Homeschoolers Across the Nation

Words of Encouragement for Our Graduates

By Toni DiGiovacchino

Graduation is a time of reflection, a time of reward, a time to set new goals for the future.  May we all stop for a moment and recognize all of the homeschool graduates who have worked so hard to achieve this momentous milestone.  Congratulations to all our Homeschool Graduates, and their parents, from all of us at ENOCH!

As parents we tend to do most of the reflecting.   Remembering when our homeschooling journey began for our child.  We reflect back on the choices we made and the times we questioned ourselves, “Is this really what God wanted us to do?”  We reflect on the courage and perseverance He gave to us to accomplish the goals He placed before us.  We realized we were doing exactly what He wanted us to do all along.  We reflect on the struggles and rejoice in all the blessings that came along with them.    What seemed at the beginning to have no end, now proved to be a short journey which has left us longing for more time with our child.  Let the Lord’s promises fill your heart.  He promises in Proverbs 22:6, “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.”  We, as homeschooling parents, have been called to accomplish this in all aspects of our children’s lives.  What a great privilege to serve Him by homeschooling our children. 

A time of reward awaits us all when we enter into His presence.  Our graduates will receive another reward for their recent accomplishments, perhaps a certificate of achievement or a High School Diploma.  Our 8th grade graduates will start a new journey as they enter into the High School years.  As for our High School graduates, they will finally have that documentation that tells the world, “I did it!”  May they seek the Lord for the next steps as they make plans for the future.  Jeremiah 29:11 is a familiar verse frequently used at this time of year, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Read the rest of that passage along with your children as the Lord continues to instruct us in verses 12-14, “Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.  You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.  I will be found by you, declares the Lord.”  Even though we choose to encourage our children with certificates and diplomas as a rite of passage at this time of year, let us also choose to encourage them with the promises of God.  Colossians 2:2-3, “My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” 

New goals, new journeys and new challenges await our graduates, may they seek Him with all their hearts as they go forth.  Pray for them and with them about their futures.  Continue to teach them about what the Lord requires of them and of the wonderful rewards that He has in store for them.  Throughout His Word He speaks of wisdom, knowledge, plans and rewards. As they begin the next stage of life, encourage them with this prayer from Philippians 1:9-11, “And this is my prayer:  that your love abound more and more in knowledge and depth and insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ-to the glory and praise of God."  May the Lord lead you and your graduate to a bright and beautiful future in Him.

ENOCH Audio Lending Library Review

Who Can Lead? – ENOCH’s Audio Lending Library

Mike Smith, President of HSLDA talks about the leadership qualities found in Joshua from the Old Testament.  Also, if you've never heard the historical account of how homeschoolers across the US shut down the switchboard at the White House in a quest for freedom, Mike Smith recounts it in all its glory!  To request this recording,  go to ENOCH’s website and ask for #121.

If you didn’t get to attend as many workshops as you would have liked at our 2010 Convention, you can purchase CDs or mp3s from our website.

Recordings from our 2009 Convention will be available in our Audio Lending Library by the end of this summer!

ENOCH EVENTS

The 2010 Annual Homeschool Convention – From a Different Point of View

By Sue August
Convention Coordinator

Most of you attended our Convention a few weeks ago, so you already have a perspective on our Convention as an attendee.  If you talked to your friends, then you probably have their perspectives as well.

Once the Convention is over, I receive lots of emails from our Exhibitors.  I’m amazed that they take the time to write since the Convention season is so busy for them.  Picture, traveling from state to state and hauling hundreds of pounds of books with you.  Each weekend, you stop at a different convention center and unload your truck and set up your display. Then you spend the next 2 days on your feet, talking to thousands of homeschooling families.  Just when you’re about ready to drop from exhaustion, you need to load up all your belongings and hit the highway again.

Now that you have an idea of what an Exhibitor family’s life is like, here are some of the things they said about the ENOCH Convention and NJ Homeschoolers.  I’m sure it will increase your appreciation of the Exhibitors that participate in our Convention.


And this from an attendee, turned Exhibitor!


So, NJ Homeschoolers, thank you for attending our convention and thank you for being a blessing to our exhibitors as well!

What will I be doing when I am 25 years old?  

By Abigail Antenucci  - Age 6                  

    When I am twenty five years old, I will be meeting a man at church.   He will be a good man.  He will have a great job.  I hope it is a good job, but if it is a bad job that is okay.  He must be a good father.  He will want to have a wife.  That will be me.  I will be his wife and I will have children for him and I will marry him, and I will love him with all my heart, and I will adore him and care for him and pray for him.  And we will go to church together and have a good time.  We will love each other forever.  Our children will be loving to one another.  We will adore them forever.

    I want to write books about God.  I want to be with my children and write books.  When I write books I can go around and sell them to people and my children can follow me on their bikes.  I want to teach people about God.  I want to tell them that he loves us.

    I think I will have a dog and a cat.  I think I will be pretty tall when I grow up.  I think I will have 6 or 7 children.  I will take a taxi to the mall.  I will eat at a Chinese restaurant with delicious food and have a good time.  That would be fancy.

    I would like to take my children to the store and buy food for my husband.  I would buy coffee for him.   If my children act bad in the store I will drive them home and put them in their beds.  I would make beef for dinner if it was St. Patrick’s day.  I would teach my children good things and protect them.

    I will have the fanciest gold car ever.  My mom and dad will be a grandma and grandpa and love my children.  I hope people will think I am good and peaceful and tender and funny, responsible and gorgeous.  I will make breakfast for my children and lunch and dinner.  If God wants me to take them to school, I can take them to school, if God wants me to homeschool them then I will homeschool them.  At the mall I can buy icecream for my family.   Me and my husband will stay up and watch movies all night.  When he is at work, I will clean the house for him.  I hope my children will be gods little children.  I will watch my children play outside.  I think I will have the best life ever.   

    THE END
