Speakers:
DuWayne and Miriam Heppner
As homeschooling pioneers in northern Minnesota, DuWayne and Miriam Heppner began mentoring others in the homeschooling process. This developed into a homeschool support group where they have been leaders for over twenty years. They began purchasing helpful homeschooling curriculum and other family resources to make them more accessible to others. This grew into a family run business/ministry that reached worldwide. For over twenty years, they have also served as consultants and speakers, listening and ministering to numerous families. They sold their homeschool resource business three years ago to be more free for ministry, the greatest being their blessed family of seventeen children, two daughters-in-law and five grandchildren.
Come hear the Heppners present:
FRONT LINE LEADERSHIP
What Does this Mean?
Who is the Enemy?
Exposing the Enemy’s Strategies
Should I Fight or Retreat?
Victory in Battle?
We have all seen fine Christian families in key leadership positions become casualties.
The Heppners have experienced the oppression and damage of the battlefield.
They are excited about joining God in His redemptive purpose to minister the truth
and encouragement that He has ministered to them.
Leaders connecting with leaders.
That is what many find to be the most beneficial and invigorating aspect of the Support Group Leaders’ Retreat.
Therefore, the afternoon will be devoted to discussion groups covering a multitude of topics
pertinent to the changes and challenges of home education leadership.
We look forward to getting together again and hope to see you there!
