Mike Smith:
Tracy Klicka, the new director of development for the Home School Foundation, joins us today. Tracy, what prompted you to join the Home School Foundation team?

Tracy Klicka:
Well, as a widow these past two years, providing for four children still at home, one might assume I sought this position at HSF out of necessity, and while my work here is a gift from the Lord to help provide for our family, there are much bigger reasons why I believe I’m here.

Your dear wife Elizabeth, who served as the Home School Foundation’s director of development for over six years brought a tremendous amount of vision and care for others. I desire to walk in her footsteps and build on all the wonderful work she has done. Not only that, but with my past experience in administration and recent experience as a widow, I hope to build strong relationships with both those who support our ministry to needy homeschooling families as well as to these precious families themselves. I got a note just yesterday, Mike, from a widow who, though her heart is still heavy from the loss of her husband four years ago, is a beautiful picture of deep trust in God in the middle of some pretty hard circumstances. It is families like these that we at HSF want to bless by serving, but who regularly bless us by their testimony of God’s sustaining power.

Mike:
Tracy, we’re looking forward to seeing what God is going to do through you to bless the Foundation and more importantly, the folks that need the Foundation’s help. Until next time, I’m Mike Smith.
