Presentation Titles & Descriptions

MAIN THEME: "The Mission-Minded Family - Releasing Your Family to God's Destiny"

"Teaching With God's Heart for the World" (Practical Ideas to Incorporate a Passion for the Great Commission into Your Home Education)

"Playing the College Game - Winning Admissions and Scholarships . . . for God's Glory" (The first three exclusively homeschooled Dunagan children earned over $250,000 in college scholarships . . .)

Nurturing your Marriage While Homeschooling 
Marriage is a priority and (should be) a beautiful reflection of Christ’s love. In the midst of this homeschooling conference — with all its curriculum choices and educational vendors — come aside together as a husband and wife for a mini marriage retreat and a brief romantic focus. Be encouraged to laugh, and to love, and to enjoy each other. Be a team together — to glorify God! (With Jon Dunagan)

Parenting by Faith not Fear
Fear can paralyze; it can grip hearts, torment minds, and hinder some from parenting in God’s joy and purpose. Philippians 4:6 says, “Be anxious for nothing.” Nothing means not even ONE-thing. Do you fear your own inadequacies (or wonder if your homeschooling is going to mess up your kids for life)? Do you fear teenage rebellion, hormones, high school, or the future? Do you fear not pleasing others, not having finances, or not fulfilling God’s purpose? In this workshop, you’ll be encouraged by God’s faithfulness and love for you, concluding with a time of prayer. (With Jon Dunagan)

Daring Daughters: Local and Global Missions for PreTeen/Teenage Girls
Orphans. Impurity. Poverty. There are many needs in the world and so many people who need Jesus. Becoming a beautiful, godly woman is more than being a pure and pampered princess. Romans 10:15 says, “How beautiful are the feet of them who bring the gospel of peace…” No matter where you live, or where you’re called to go, you can DARE to care, DARE to cry, and DARE to make a difference for God. As Amy Carmichael prayed, “Give me the love that leads the way, the passion that burns like fire.”

Aiming Arrows into Adulthood

I Corinthians 13:11 says, “When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” As homeschooling parents, how can we prepare our children for adulthood? And how can we prepare our hearts (through prayer and effective communication) to release our kids, into a new season? There’s life after graduation– with college, careers, romance, weddings, and next-generation purpose. Let’s aim and launch our arrows, to hit God’s mark!  (With Jon Dunagan)

Mission Minded Families
Be encouraged, challenged, and equipped with ideas, as the Dunagan's share from their local and global adventures. Mission-minded families focus on God’s Great Commission, with a passion for the lost. There’s a spiritual depth and hunger that reaches beyond the maintenance mode of cultural Christianity. Learn to “raise the bar” in leadership and service, to “guard the gates” of your home, and to live with an attitude of self-sacrifice and submission to God, while radiating an unmistakable, contagious joy. (With Jon Dunagan)

Family Leadership for the Next Generation
No matter what kind of family you were raised in, you can establish a godly legacy of leadership for the next generation, because of the blood of Jesus Christ. Those decisions you make, day-by-day, don’t just affect you; they affect your kids, and their kids, and all who they will influence. Learn to disciple your children to disciple others. From God’s Word, learn to see from God’s perspective, with a focus on eternity, the Cross, and the glory of God. You’re building a legacy, brick-by-brick, for the future!  (With Jon Dunagan)

10 Ideas for Teaching With God’s Heart for the World
Hudson Taylor said, “The Great Commission is not an option to consider; it is a command to obey.” For Christian homeschooling families, world missions is not an optional elective to study. Instead, it is a foundational worldview for training our children for God. In this session, you’ll learn many practical ways to incorporate God’s love for the lost and for the nations into your educational methods, homeschooling subjects, and family life. As Ann explains, “Missions is not just for missionaries; God’s call is for all.”

My hope is that this list will assist conference organizers in connecting with Ann Dunagan and other workshop leaders and speakers. Furthermore, my desire is to help homeschool workshop leaders and speakers develop relationships with more convention planners and audiences. May your efforts be for the glory of Christ and the strengthening of His saints.
