We’re excited to have Teach Them Diligently as one of our monthly sponsors in October. WE had the opportunity to interview them and get to know their company a little more recently:
Can you tell us about the history of your company?
Teach Them Diligently was started in 2011 out of a mission board called Worldwide Tentmakers. The event was meant to provide financial support for its overseas ministries. This is the reason for the strong Gospel and Family Discipleship focus of the event. It was born out of a mission board in which the entire purpose for its existence is the Great Commission.
The first event was in 2012 in Spartanburg, SC, and we hosted 7,000 at that first event, and we were overwhelmed with positive testimonials as to how the Lord used the event in the hearts and lives of families. After much prayer, we expanded in 2013 to Spartanburg, SC; Nashville, TN; and Omaha, NE. We hosted 7,000, 7,000 and 5,000 respectively at each of those events.
Now we are expanding again slowly into online media and adding a fourth event. In 2014, our events will be in Nashville, TN; Spartanburg, SC; Washington, DC; and Dallas, TX. We’re excitedly looking forward to seeing thousands of homeschoolers at our events again in 2014!
The main focus on Money Saving Mom® is saving money and making our dollars stretch. How do Teach Them Diligently conferences help us to do that?
We have an exhibit hall with hundreds of booths from companies interested in reaching families attending our events with their products, curriculum, and resources. In most cases, the prices at our events are lower than these companies offer all year.
Additionally, we are offering an exclusive discount code to get $8 off the early bird registration price for our events for MoneySavingMom.com readers. Just use coupon code MSMBESTSAVINGS at checkout to get this special discount! This discount code is valid through November 1, 2013.
Do you all participate in any charity work that you’d like us to know about?
A portion of every dollar of registration fees goes toward supporting Christian ministries overseas.
What would you most like your customers or future customers to know about your company?
Our events are encouraging. They are specifically Christian homeschool events, but anyone is welcome.
At Teach Them Diligently events, you can expect to have your vision renewed and refreshed toward the reason why you started homeschooling. Additionally, we want to encourage parents that homeschooling is about discipleship not just academics.
We believe that what parents do every day in their homes is part of the Great Commission and an extension of Christ’s command to reach out. We are equipping our children to go out into the world and make a difference.
