The Hutchinsons are guided by Biblical principles of work and stewardship, believing that work is a gift given by God to provide for their needs and for the needs of others. Through hard work and discipline their three children attended Wheaton College (IL) without borrowing money to finance their education. As a family they have been full time caregivers for Ted’s mom (Alzheimer’s) and Jane’s dad (Parkinson’s) over a period of seventeen years. The experience and benefits remain a major part of their story.
Jane and Ted founded and directed BrierCrest School, designed for home-school families. This educational alternative offered the best of both individual and group learning experiences with an emphasis on Christian worldview and character development thorough academic and practical work experiences. In this context they experienced an unparalleled opportunity to coach individuals and families in areas that went far beyond the academic concerns of the classroom.
Jane and Ted work hard at staying connected with their kids and friends all over the world.
