John and Miriam homeschooled their 3 sons for 18 years and during that time INCH was a great encouragement to their family. While their children graduated years ago, they have continued to serve because they believe that homeschooling is the best way for parents to pass on their Christian faith to their children and they believe that MiCHN is a much-needed resource in equipping parents to do so. They are blessed that their children are walking with the Lord! Miriam serves Michigan homeschoolers as the Treasurer for MiCHN.
Rob and Shannon Kemp were married in 1994, and raised four sons, whom they homeschooled through high school. Thinking they were nearing the end of their child rearing and homeschool journey, in 2021 and 2022 the Lord brought two babies into their lives through fostering and adoption. They are now beginning their homeschooling journey all over again. Rob has been a mechanic for 44+ years and a pastor for 20+ years. He currently pastors Warren Missionary Baptist Church in Warren, MI. Shannon runs a homeschool group at the church, as well as being the Connections Director for MICHN where she pursues her passion for helping homeschoolers find connections with others locally, statewide, and nationally, while also striving to guide them to be educated on the laws, how-tos, freedoms, and joys of homeschooling.
