FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Will my donation benefit the Father to Son DVD series?
Yes. The production is now in the "post" stage, which means lots of electronic file management and editing. Western Conservatory is creating a study guide for the series which will enable families, churches and other groups to make use of the series as Bible study event. We want this particular series to find wide distribution in North America. An awareness campaign will begin in October.

Can you tell us more about the potential journey to the UK?
For the better part of the last decade, the Botkin family has been rebuilding scriptural foundations in New Zealand, part of the British Commonwealth. Families in the UK have been benefiting from book, CD and DVD messages and have urged the Botkin family to come speak to embattled families and churches in England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland.

When will the journey take place?
Tentatively in April 2009, funding permitting.

The weakened US dollar makes such a journey demanding. There is currently enough in the budget for one stop in the north. The Botkin family would like to make the most of a transatlantic trip and be able to speak in at least twelve of the areas from which requests are originating. Here are sample quotes from subjects of the Queen:

"Scotland is definitely in need to hear the message about the restoration of the Biblical family...May the Lord open a way to make that happen." -- James

"The Botkin family would bring a message to the UK that would speak to the very foundations of the nation's heritage and shake the pillars upon which she stands. To truly call men to the age old foundations of biblical justice, morality and religion would be a call for men to remember the honor, dignity and godly character of their forefathers. It will shame the lethargy of the men of modernity and enrage the feminist agenda. It will also answer the prayers of those crying for revival. Please, Mr. Botkin, would you teach and train our family how to be key leaders in the Cultural Reformation of the UK and to the uttermost parts of the earth?" -- DR

"Birmingham is quite a good spot really - just a little plug for you to consider us!" LA

"The Biblical message on family life which the Botkins live and share are what we in the United Kingdom need to hear." JH

"The message the Botkin family would bring to the UK would be very important. The UK has slipped even further into a post-Christian era than the US. The media will outright mock Christian initiative. The state schools have rewritten our history books. There is a deep-seated socialist agenda. It is an egalitarian society. I remember as a child my mother working as a bookeeper would calculate income tax for upper level income earners at 75% income tax. Nowhere have I seen the application of Scripture to every sphere of life other than personal piety. Feminism is of course rife. To ask a Christian man what is the condition of religion in his home is to ask a question that he no longer understands.

"There is tremendous need to shepherd and train these families in the right way. The process of discipleship of church leaders and heads of households will take generations to see men stand in the gates and lead in parliament for England's revival." --- Father of six

"The Christian household here does not seem to know this biblically founded message of the daughters at home. It is on our heart to see this encouraging and eye-opening message to be brought to many here." -- Andreas

"We are excited about the opportunity to meet with the Botkin family and hear some of their teaching. The UK is in dire need of a spiritual reawakening and a turning back toward the biblical model of family life. The messages and testimony that the Botkins will bring will stir us as Christians, and encourage us as we seek to be salt and light in our communities." -- Liz

"It would be wonderful to have the opportunity to hear insights and wisdom from a home-educating family who have successfully raised their older children to adulthood." -- Nigel

"The decline in the West is more advanced in Europe so we believe that your ministry is key to a revival of true Biblical concerns." -- Steve

"I have found all your materials an answer to prayer. When can you come to our city?" David

"I would sadly have to say that the truth you espouse would be like a foreign language to most, so far have we fallen from such scriptural fundamentals. However there is a remnant and God is able to "turn the hearts of the fathers to the children". DW

"The main problem we seem to face here in the UK is the number of men who are prepared to take a stance on this from the pulpit is virtually zero. We, as a family, are thankful to ministries like yours who have helped us and others here in the UK." -- JN

"Come to our town! The shape of Britain's future can be seen here (unless the Christians get their act together): there's a group here that has seized the dominion mandate with both hands, that have opened their own schools and do homeschooling, that have taken the principles of cultural distinction, modesty in dress and duty to the family seriously, that live close to one another in the terraced houses and care for their elderly in multigenerational housing units. It’s not the Christians, but the the Muslim community, whose parents and grandparents were brought over from Pakistan to shore up the postwar cotton industry." -- CG

"We need this inspiring family message!" - Beatrix

Is my donation tax deductible?
Yes.

Can my donation be directed toward specific Conservatory projects?
Yes.

Where will 2008 donations go?
For non-designated gifts, funds will go toward the development of our media division. This is strategically important because this division should become a major engine of ongoing revenue. Our goal is to make the Conservatory completely self sufficient. Until that day, your donations are vitally important.

What media projects have priority?
The seven-part television series The Battle for Civilization. Go to www.battleforcivilization.com for more information.

Can I donate stock?
Yes. Donors can take tax deductions for donations of publicly traded stock. Your stock broker will know how to affect the donation to the Conservatory.
