Pray for home educators across the globe.
A grassroots National Week of Prayer was held January 27-February 2, 2014. Although the week has passed, we invite you to continue to pray for homeschoolers across the globe daily. The following guide might be helpful as you pray.
If you have a specific prayer need and would like us to join you in praying, please feel free to email us at cheo@cheohome.org or message us on our Facebook page.
Monday - Fathers
Please pray for homeschooling fathers to walk in integrity before the Lord in every area of their lives. Pray for their hearts to be turned towards their children and that they may instill in them a love for Christ and His Church. Pray for these men as they carry such an important responsibility for the spiritual care and physical provision of their families. Pray for protection of marriages.
Proverbs 20:7 "The godly walk with integrity; blessed are their children who follow them."
Tuesday - Mothers
Please pray for homeschooling mothers to walk generously in the fruit of the Spirit. Pray that every moment in their day would be filled with much rejoicing and gentleness. Pray for their hearts to be encouraged as they fill so many different roles in their family, church, and community. Pray for their minds to be focused on the Lord and that they will trust everything to Him, not giving place to comparisons. Pray for protection of marriages.
Philippians 4:4-7 "Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
Wednesday - Children at home
Please pray for the children that are being educated at home to come to faith in Christ, walking out personal and deep relationships with the Lord. Pray for their minds to be saturated with the things of God and that their hearts would be set aside for His glory and work. Pray for relationships with parents to be solid, strong and healthy.

Friday - Second generation homeschoolers
Please pray for second generation homeschoolers who are discipling and educating their own children at home. Pray for these families to create their own traditions and learning environments while building on the good things their parents did. Pray for them to stand firm in their convictions and follow the Lord in all things.
Psalm 78:6 "That the generation to come might know them [laws of God], the children who would be born, that they may arise and declare them to their children that they may set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, but keep His commandments."
Saturday - Grandparents
Please pray for grandparents of homeschooled children to be encouraging towards the efforts of their adult children to disciple and educate the grandchildren at home. Pray for them to have wisdom on how to help facilitate the vision of homeschooling or even at times taking on the actual homeschooling.

Sunday - Revival in the homeschool family
Please pray for the Holy Spirit to do a mighty work in homeschooling families across the world. Pray for hearts to be humbled and submitted to the Lord. Pray for true repentance and turning from sin. Pray for entire families to seek the face of God together, crying out for His presence in their homes. Pray for a harvest of souls through the witness of the power of the Holy Spirit in the lives of homeschoolers.
Psalm 130:1-6 "Out of the depths I have cried to You, O Lord; Lord, hear my voice! Let Your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. If You, Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with You, that You may be feared. I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His word I do hope. My soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning- Yes, more than those who watch for the morning."

Teach Them Diligently/CHEO Homeschool Convention
Kalahari Resort, May 28 – 30, 2015
Sandusky, Ohio
Teach Them Diligently Convention will be bringing our homeschool convention to the Kalahari Resort in Sandusky, OH, in partnership with Christian Home Educators of Ohio (CHEO).
For those of you that don’t know, Sandusky is a vacation destination for millions because of the famed amusement park, Cedar Point. In Northern Ohio, not only will a portion of every family registration go towards Gospel missions, but we will also donate money to CHEO to help them in protecting and supporting Ohio homeschooling rights.
If you have never been to one of our homeschool conventions, you must. Our events are large with typically 7,000 people attending. There is nothing quite like a Teach Them Diligently Convention. Your family will love the camaraderie, energy, and encouragement of this Ohio homeschool event. There is something for everyone! Our homeschool events are diverse with families ranging from simply considering home education to veterans.
You can expect the same waterfall of encouragement and the Gospel present in everything as at our other regional homeschool convention events. You will also receive practical and helpful instruction for home education. However, this year we have made a few changes. First, we have added keynote sessions that bring everyone together in the same room which we believe will really help set the tone for the event. Second, we have expanded our academic and offerings for getting started homeschoolers. Additionally we have refreshed the children and teen programs, and added even more curriculum publishers in the exhibit hall. If you are a Christian Homeschool Family in Ohio, this is a great homeschool convention for your family to attend. The Northern Ohio Teach Them Diligently Homeschool Convention is an experience that you do not want to miss, and it is built for the entire family! By the way, we are offering discounted Cedar Point tickets with a family registration.
