** PLEASE RSVP ASAP so we can make sure facilites are adequate**

** Hey folks -- I know this is short notice, but I just found out myself. If there's any way you can make it, it would be well worth your while. Please pass this on to any parents, grandparents, or pastors who are concerned about the family & the culture. This is particularly true for parents who want a different route than the empty and bad fruit bearing one offered by the world or even mainstream American Christianity.

Geoff Botkin & his family will be traveling through Mississippi on Thurs. June 7. Geoff called and asked if we'd be interested in having some sort of seminar or something with them. We are going to try to -- Lord willing -- pull something together for them. Please let me know ASAP if you would be interested in coming or helping.

Who are the Botkin's you might ask. Below is the modest bio Geoff sent me. I have added a few more things I know about them below that :

"Geoffrey Botkin is an author, international business leader and former pastor. He currently serves as an advisor to the Western Conservatory of the Arts and Sciences. He has been an articulate advocate of home education since 1981, when he produced America's first national television special on the subject, and is considered an expert on education issues faced by Western nations. He and his wife Victoria have five sons and two daughters, all of whom have been trained to be leaders in today's culture wars, media wars, and church growth controversies. His fascinating career includes ten years as a high-level political consultant in Washington. The family home is Seven Arrows Ranch in New Zealand. They are presently in the United States speaking about issues related to dynastic family discipleship and national reformation. Their children range in age from 12-26."

Geoff has been a leader & speaker at Vision Forum's Entrepenuer's Boot Camp and an instructor & judge the San Antonio Independant Christian Film Festival.
He & his family are filmakers who have produced many videos on a variety of topics.

Geoff's two daughters Anna Sofia & Elizabeth are very accomplished as well. They are the co-authors of the groundbreaking book for Christian girls --"So Much More,: the Remarkable Influence of Visionary Daughters on the Kingdom of God"; the Botkins have a passion for teaching young ladies how to live for Christ & for their families in this confusing, wicked age of feminism, materialism, selfishness & worldliness.They also have a pretty good blog for girls called Visionary Daughters.

** Daughters or parents with daughters should all try to come & pick up a copy of the Botkin girls' book

Anyway, among the topics the Botkins ome topics might cover as a family include :
*Courtship
* How daughters can advance the Kingdom of God from home
* Giving your children Multigenerational vision
* What every son and daughter needs to know about the fifth commandment
* Mistakes Dads make in raising sons

* Question/Answer
(At the end, you will have the opportunity to ask questions. )

* And we'll try to get Geoff to cover some aspects of Christianity, movies, and culture.

Please RSVP when you can. If you are within a couple of hours from Tupelo, I HIGHLY recommend trying to attend.

In Christ & for His Kingdom,
Leslie & Christy and nine other Rileys
