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 (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).  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
