Bio, Presentation Descriptions, and Speaking Schedule

	Israel Wayne is a homeschooled graduate who is leading his generation in defending the Christian faith and developing a Biblical worldview. He is the author of the book Homeschooling from a Biblical Worldview. Israel is a regular columnist for Home School Digest and Brush Arbor Quarterly, published by Wisdom’s Gate (www.WisdomsGate.org), where he currently serves as the Marketing Director. He is also the site editor for www.ChristianWorldview.net. Israel is a popular conference speaker, and a frequent guest on national radio programs discussing home education and cultural issues from a Biblical perspective. Israel’s family began home educating in 1978 and has been featured in national and international publications including TIME Magazine, The Arizona Republic, The Boston Globe, and the Wall Street Journal. Israel has been featured as the keynote speaker at various state homeschool conferences, with up to 5,000 in attendance. Israel and his wife Brook were joined in marriage without dating and share their testimony of God’s faithfulness on an audiobook titled, What God Has Joined Together. Israel and Brook, also a homeschool graduate, are home educating their six young children, and Brook is a regular columnist for An Encouraging Word magazine. Israel desires to see God’s people learn to think and live Biblically. Aiming for both the head and the heart, Israel’s goal is to challenge audiences to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ. In his words, “God’s Word applies to all areas of life. There is not one facet of our existence which does not fall under the direct claim of Lordship by Jesus Christ. This includes how we spend our money, what entertainment we consume, how we educate our children, how we use our time, etc. All of life must be understood from within a Biblical worldview.”

“After being a co-speaker with Israel Wayne at a recent conference, I am more than impressed with this young man. He is one of a few recently homeschooled students who has become an intellectual and scholar in his own right, and he is worth hearing from.” –Dennis Gundersen, Grace and Truth Books “As a returning speaker, Israel Wayne is definitely one of our most popular! He is personable, a great communicator, and explains his subject matter—whether it is Godly Discipleship, Homeschooling, or Creation Science—so that everyone can understand. Israel is the real deal and we look forward to having him speak at many more events.” –Elysse Barrett, Organizer, Rocky Mountain Biblical Worldview Conference “Israel’s messages stirred a lot of hearts [at the convention I recently attended] and we would love to have him come stir up the hearts of the members of our group.” –Bob, Speaker Chairman, HOME (Brubank, CA) “Gail and I have watched you grow as a Christian leader on behalf of Christ-centered home education these recent years. Your book has been a blessing too. We watch with joy to see the many young couples who are coming along behind us in the leadership of the Christian home school movement as many of the older couples look to pass the baton to the next generation of leaders. Your family has done much to encourage and fortify many 10,000's of Christian families over the years.” ~ Chaplain E. Ray Moore, (Lt. Col.), USAR Ret., President, Frontline Ministries / Exodus Mandate "In 2005, Israel Wayne was the keynote speaker for our homeschool conference here in Sacramento, CA. I have nothing but high praise for him. I found him to be a wise and engaging young man. Our conference attendee concurred with only great evaluations. I would highly recommend him a keynote speaker for any conference/convention.” -Chuck Geib, SCOPE Chairman "Israel Wayne keynoted the North Dakota Home School Association’s 19th Annual Christian Home Educators’ Convention during March 1-3, 2007 at the Fargo Civic Auditorium in Fargo, ND. Comments received regarding Israel’s talks included: 'He is a young CS Lewis; continue to have speakers like him; very good; he made the conference worth attending.' Israel did a perfect job conveying the importance of having a Biblical worldview, letting the Lord direct in preparing for marriage, the roots of the socialization question, parental rights, home school convictions and more. Israel is a natural leader of the second generation home educators, and many of the younger people were especially interested in hearing his wisdom." -Dr. James Bartlett, Executive Director, NDHSA. Keynote Speaker at: CHEF (MO), CHEA of CA (Ontario), SCOPE (CA), NDHSA (ND), CHEK (KY) CHEO (OH) FWAHS (Ft. Wayne, IN), SEARCH (PA), CHEM (MI) and many other events.
