Randy has served with WISDOM for the past 27 years. It has been filled with joys and sorrows, the unexpected as well as changes in governments, homeschool families and colleagues. For 29 years, Randy and Catie raised and home educated their four children, Nathan, Joshua, Esther and Reuben, who are now all married and raising children of their own. Nathan, a journeyman carpenter, operates Porcupine Contracting in Edson. Joshua operates Kopp Studios as an RCM piano instructor in Olds and is also an electrical journeyman. Esther, formerly a big game guide and horse trainer, now owns and operates a cattle farm with her husband near Smithers, B.C. Reuben completed his 4 year Turfgrass Management Program at Olds College, worked at a number of golf courses and now is employed by the City of Spruce Grove.
The Kopp children did not pursue high school credits, but were fully supported in their vocational pursuits and personal walk with their Lord Jesus Christ. What began as a response to what was happening in the public school system soon became a way of life as God opened their eyes and hearts to all that He wanted to do in their lives. Their Christian home education included studying and memorizing the Scriptures, serving others outside the home with their talents and abilities, developing a host of practical life skills, pursuing their passions, enjoying healthy outdoor activities as well as working together to make wise purchases and investments.
Randy and Catie advocate the pursuit and stewardship of one's God-given abilities, talents and passions. They enjoy hiking, canoeing, fishing, hunting, gardening, traveling, golfing and playing board games.
