Our Bible lessons have educated both of us, and this past May, Landon and I were baptized. Reflecting on this year, I am in awe and couldn't be more thankful. Sonlight has been an integral part in God's plan for us, a painting more perfect than we could have ever pictured. Six-year-old Landon truly loved his first year of Sonlight with Core A. Tanya says he couldn't wait to start each day.

"Sonlight does a great job of encouraging my children to have a firm foundation in Christ and to seek knowledge and wisdom. The curriculum has helped develop their heart for serving Christ and sharing God's love. We love the missionary stories and the time learning from the Bible together. The history is so full and rich, and what we're learning has helped all of us better understand why people believe and do what they do today. Living books really do help our children understand a time period and develop their own writing skills … no comparison to dry textbook education! I love that their heroes are men and women of faith, not some here-today-gone-tomorrow pop star." In their seventh year of Sonlight, Samantha (10, Level F), Karlie (7, Level B) and Brandon (4, Pre-Kindergarten) read their Bibles at a favorite outdoor spot. – Sarah R of Earlham, IA

The multicultural and missions emphasis keep drawing us back to Sonlight. Core F has been the best one yet! It was a very special year as Marissa and I prayed and cried our way through studying some of the least-evangelized countries in the world. It has made her a more compassionate person. The adventures at the end of each unit were especially fun. We tried a lot of new foods. The research projects, geography and reading selections also tie together beautifully. Thanks for offering a curriculum I haven't seen elsewhere and that affirms our values as missionaries. In their fifth year of Sonlight, Marissa (11) and Alena (6) are developing a closer relationship as they explore Cores C and G.
