Since they stood for five years to get Ty, they were ready to stand as long as necessary to have another child, Charlotte said. God, however, had other plans. Their second son, Cole, was born 18 months later in 2001. An Unexpected Turn The Kachinskis had been living on Summerland Key, Fla., for about a year and a half when they admitted it wasn’t a great place to raise small children, Robert says. There were no Word of Faith churches in the area. They were being fed spiritually by KCM broadcasts and attending Eagle Mountain International Church online. “We wrote a prayer of agreement asking the Lord for a job where He wanted us to be, where we could be part of a good church, the job would be a promotion and He would cause our home to sell quickly,” Robert recalled. “In fact, we asked that, like Jerry Savelle, someone would walk up to our house and offer to buy it, with the furniture. “We listed the house for sale by owner. In less than 24 hours, I went to the mailbox and found a couple standing at our gate.” “We’re just in town for the weekend and saw your house for sale. Could we take a look?” “The couple asked to buy the house—with the furniture, for the exact amount we prayed for!” Robert said. At the time, homes were on the market for an average of over 200 days. “Turns out, they were Christians.” In 2015, the family moved from Summerland Key to Seattle. In the early part of his military career, Robert had been an air traffic controller. The new job promotion God had for him was working for the Federal Aviation Administration. Life in Seattle “Seattle was a God-ordained place for us,” Charlotte recalls. “Since we moved around so much, I had homeschooled the boys using the Abeka Christian Curriculum. We started each day with BVOV in the morning because we wanted them to get a solid foundation of the Word as well as their other studies. Although Cole is 18 months younger than Ty, he’s very analytical and kept up with his older brother. Both boys finished 10th grade in homeschool. “That’s when we learned that Washington had a program called Running Start. It was designed for children who are academically strong. They take a test similar to the S.A.T., and if they pass, they can go straight to college instead of finishing high school. Both boys had always kept up with the challenging Abeka curriculum, and both passed the test. The problem was that Cole was only 14. “Despite Cole’s age, both were accepted into the program. They did well during their two years of college. When they graduated, they each received a high school diploma and an Associate of Arts degree. During their commencement, the chancellor said, ‘Today we set a record for the youngest graduate of an associate degree in our history.’ Cole was only 16.” While he was still in college, after watching a KCM broadcast with a military officer, Ty told Charlotte, “Mom, the Lord spoke to me. It’s clear that I’m to join the Coast Guard.” When he graduated from college, Ty joined the Coast Guard. Soon Cole joined as well. Getting Unencumbered In January 2019, Robert and Charlotte found themselves empty nesters. In April, they decided to buy a getaway condo in Leavenworth, Wash. The touristy area offered lots of little restaurants and cafés, with a river running through town. The condo was fully furnished. The day before they went to sign the final documents for the sale, Robert and Charlotte took a 4-mile hike while listening to the "BVOV" broadcast. A man gave his testimony about how he’d invested in multiple properties at a low interest rate to bring in extra revenue. Except the Lord told him to sell it all and get out of debt. Robert felt convicted about buying the condo. He sensed that God wanted them unencumbered. BVOV : 17
