An Affirmative Plan: National Home School Debate Tournament
New sponsor for the National Home School Debate Tournament
In order to focus on our stock issues of defending home schoolers, HSLDA has recognized that it is time for a separate organization to take on the support of the national home school speech and debate community.
This new organization, the National Christian Forensics and Communication Association (NCFCA), was formed in 2000 and is led by a seven-member board of directors:
- Todd Cooper, Chairman, Christian Family Schools (CA)
- Michael Farris, HSLDA (VA)
- Christy Shipe, HSLDA (VA)
- Teresa Moon, Communicators for Christ (CA)
- Skip Rutledge, Director of Communication Studies, Pt. Loma University (CA), and President of the National Parliamentary Debate Association
- Deborah Haffey, Director of Communication Studies, Cedarville College (OH)
- Terry Stollar, Gutenberg College (OR)
The National Home School Debate Tournament is now part of the National Christian Forensics and Communication Association. For debate information and dates, contact:
NCFCA, P.O. Box 500208

The Widows Curriculum Scholarship Fund

Thank you so much for the blessing of the cirriculum scholarship. During the final months of my husband's life, we discussed his desire to see our daughters continue in the only education they're ever known. Your generous gift was enough to purchase almost all that I needed for my four daughters.
Bless you,
Kristi Bennett

James 1:27
. . . Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress . . .
In March 2000, a home schooling fathers generosity and vision led to the beginning of a special ministry the Widows Curriculum Scholarship Fund. Any home schooling mother who has lost a husband to death and has not remarried may apply for this scholarship.
To Apply: Contact the Widows Curriculum Fund Administrator at (540) 338-5600 or widowsfund@hslda.org.
To Donate to the Fund: Send your tax-deductible gift to HSLDF Widows Fund, P.O. Box 3000, Purcellville, VA 20134.
HSLDA has assumed all costs associated with administering this program. Therefore, 100 percent of every gift goes directly to helping widows and their children.
