Welcome to the WATCH Website!
A message from Norm Wakefield, Executive Director of The Spirit of Elijah Ministries, International:
"Finding people who have the same love for the Lord, vision for
children, and mission in life as parents isn't easy. The opportunity to
receive encouragement, enjoy fellowship, and unite in prayer with such
people is rarer still.
However, the homeschoolers of Washington have
just such an opportunity at the WATCH conference to build relationships
and discover the blessing of being a part of a community of believers
who are seeking the Lord's will and wisdom in preparing their children
for life and for eternity.
I want to encourage the homeschoolers of WA to plug in and get recharged and renewed at the WATCH convention."
Begins 8/08/08

Here are just a few of the dozens of comments we have received about the last WATCH conference:
"I have been absolutely and thoroughly blessed by the whole
conference! I feel you hit the heart issue directly-that it's not all
about the academics but about the relationships with our spouses, kids
and most importantly God. Thank you for all your hard work, volunteer
time and effort to make this weekend happen. We are new WATCH members
and look forward to helping out in future events!"

"(The conference) helped us feel like a part of a community. Calmed and encouraged us. Gave us direction. Loved that it was about so much more than what math book we should use."
M.W. from Vancouver, WA
"The main difference I've experienced at this conference compared to another I've been to is the unity of heart and vision of all the leaders and speakers. Matters of the heart is what matters most and is where to start. Thank you for promoting this all over."
S.L. from Bremerton, WA
"I like that WATCH is taking conferences around the state to reach more homeschoolers. I really thought the radio interview went well. Thank you for representing us homeschoolers!"

The Washington Association of Teaching Christian Homes is a volunteer-driven, service oriented ministry to homeschooling families in the beautiful state of Washington.
We desire to support homeschooling families, giving them the tools they need, both practical and spiritual, to assist parents in their commitment to home education.
Because of this, WATCH does not focus only on home schooling, but on ministering to the heart of home schooling... and at the center of this is the heart of the Father.
God cares about families!
