About
Beverly Jacobson is an Air Force wife and homeschooling mother of 9. From marriage and motherhood to miscarriages and military moves, Beverly spent some years thinking she was getting pretty good at this homeschooling gig and planned to homeschool for the long haul.
Then came the phone call that turned the Jacobsons' lives upside down. When Beverly and her husband learned their 9th baby had Edwards Syndrome, they grieved upon hearing their daughter was not expected to live. But God had other plans...which didn't necessarily seem good at the time. (Who signs up to be the mother of a child with profound disabilities, especially when you don't feel equipped to handle the ones you've already got?!) Yet through the storms, God's faithfulness drew the family closer to His heart. Their experience led Beverly to start a non-profit organization (Verity's Village) and develop a personal ministry to other moms committed to teaching biblical truth to the next generation.
