Edifying Homeschoolers Along the Way
In Wisconsin, we must file form PI-1206 with the Department of Public Instruction, not asking for permission, but informing them that we are instructing our children at home. This form attests that we are not circumventing the school attendance laws and are providing at least 875 hours of instruction per year covering at least reading, language arts, math, social studies, science and health. To request the form, call 608-266-5761 or write to:

First you can use our at-cost curriculum designed to help you study and set up a prayer session in the home on a daily or weekly basis.This curriculum will be available by August 1. Second, you can sign up for a session in our master calendar of prayer on a weekly or daily basis. We eventually wish to have a 24-7 prayer blanket from rural areas and small towns that may not have churches planning to do this in their area and have staff manning those time periods to pray with you and answer questions.Contact us in the following ways: Phone: 715-441-1385 - Email: livingwatershealingnetwork@gmail.com -Website: http://www.livingwatershealingnetwork.com .

Host A Foreign Exchange Student?
Pacific Intercultural Exchange is searching for Christian families who want to promote peace making by hosting an exchange student from a predominantly Muslim country. Our students are all 15-17 years old, speak English, have medical insurance, and their own spending money. Many of our students have been awarded scholarships through the US State Department and would not otherwise be able to spend an academic school year studying in the US. Students arrive in August and stay through June while they attend the local public high school. Students are placed throughout Minnesota in rural areas, suburban and urban areas. Our host families come from many backgrounds, but they share the love of learning, tolerance, and patience. If you would like more information about the program, please call Mary Armstrong at 952-236-0745/email: maryarmstrong@pieusa.org/website: www.pieusa.org
