The Timothy Project (TTP)

2 Timothy 1:5, I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.

The Timothy Project (TTP) is Home Schooling of Christian Faith: We teach our faith to our children in our homes.

Deuteronomy 6:6-9

These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.

Ephesians 6:4

Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

This project is not to replace whatever you do in your home, church, or Christian School.

We should be working together for the same purpose on the same way.

This project has no time schedule for when we start and end.

We begin as soon as possible and continue until the Lord comes back.

We do not mind how big or small our effort is, or how long it takes.

We just do it. (the Reservation is the Land of Action!!)

Why?

So that our children will be confident in our faith to go to the world on their own.

Proverbs 22:6

Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.)

How?

We- I, you, & everybody will device/provide curriculum & materials, minister & manage

We Inspire, Prepare, Provide, & Commission.

Teach at home, church, retreat, camp meeting, VBS, & whatever, whenever

What?
