From the start of motherhood over 30 years ago, Holly Duncan has fought for children. Being told that she’d never be able to have children of her own and yet knowing the Lord said otherwise, led Holly to her 2rst faith battle for children. The Lord was faithful to give 2 miracle babies and a powerful testimony that stirs faith in all who hear it. 

​

Truly, “Children are an inheritance, and the fruit of the womb is His reward ” Holly has taught faith principles to her own children, imparts faith to her 3 grandchildren, and is the primary chapel teacher of children and teens at a Christian school in California. 

​

However, it is from the sacred place of the home that she believes the greatest impact is made in the lives of children, as the family gathers together in faith to worship our Lord. Holly Duncan is passionate to share Biblical truths and resources that will help you and your family grow in your faith.

Renny met Christ in 1968 at a Billy Graham Crusade.  Years later, Renny and his wife discovered homeschooling and saw this as a family mission, which they did for eight years. Renny was also the senior pastor of a small church just outside of Washington D.C. that grew to more than 3,000 in about five years. 

​

However, Renny’s heart was for those living in the poorest section of the inner city. So, he, his wife and their four small children moved to downtown Atlanta, where he started a ministry to provide affordable housing for the working poor of that city. 

 

Renny’s passion for raising up a Godly generation of children and teens grew during this season of his life. So, he spent the next fourteen years of his life leading a team of educators as Headmaster at Christian Heritage School in Dalton, Georgia which was one of the poorest towns in the state. God used him to grow that school to become the largest Christian academy in the region. 

​

Over the years Renny has understood that every child matters, and even the worst kids are worth trying to save and be given a chance to allow Christ to redeem their future.
