Homeschool Made Simple

As we thought about what to share with you around Thanksgiving, we wanted to bring back a guest who has been on the podcast before. Carole interviewed her friend Betsy Hake back in episodes 17 and 18 about her ministry in Honduras called Jericho Ministries.

Betsy is back to share an update on Jericho and encourage us with how God has carried her through difficult tests over the last few years.
