Not only have we experienced the academic benefits of using Sonlight in our homeschool journey, we've also had the delight of watching this curriculum impact our children's character. When we began eight years ago, little did we know that the seeds planted by Sonlight's inspirational biographies and stories of diverse cultures would sprout up children who long to let God use their lives for His glory. Because of Sonlight, we're watching our children become more aware of the world around them, more sensitive to the needs of hurting people and more confident that God can, and will, use anyone willing to obey His call. Tatum (13) shares one of her Sonlight favorites with Josiah (3), AJ (5) and Greta (10).

As a new homeschooling family, we were immediately drawn to Sonlight's educational approach because it is both biblical and globally focused. I met my husband on the mission field in Nigeria, and we have since been blessed with three boys, with another one on the way. Our kids are being exposed to the very heart of missions and we can share with them a worldwide perspective for God's people. We are able to teach our kids about differing cultures and help draw their two cultures together. Sonlight is making our homeschooling journey more exciting every day! Here, Ishaku teaches Josiah (5, Core B) and Tobias (4, Core A) about a Bibleless tribe in his home country of Nigeria.

"Without Sonlight, we never would have had this God moment!" writes Jessica S of Etna, OH. "We met this lovely lady in the airport while traveling. She is Haitian and speaks French and Creole. She was engaging with the kids, and they were fascinated to know she was from another country! I asked if she wouldn't mind sharing some words with my kids, so she began teaching them different words in French and Creole. We mentioned a missionary family we know serving Haiti, and she was thrilled to know we were Christians. Emery (9) talked about Catching Their Talk in a Box and missionaries we've learned about. How cool is that?" In the photo: Emery (9), Liam (7), and Aubrey (5) with their new Haitian friend.
