There is a lot of conversation on forums and messages boards about MFW’s decisions to create enhanced, consumable Student Sheets. Here are some of the questions we have heard: Will we still be able to use our first edition Teacher’s Manuals? Will we be able to copy the new Student Sheets? If not, wh...

Our goal always has been and always will be to serve our customer. So hear is the abbreviated story. 3 publishers surprised us with little warning of new or redone books -- same content but re-organized. That sent us on a search to make things better for our customers and keep prices low in spite of...

Quick testimony. Today at the Ohio Convention I met a mom and her now 6th grader. Last year the child was in 5th grade and hated math. Everything they did was stressful. He made the switch to Singapore and tested back in 2A. Now in 18 months the child is finishing up 6a and 6b. He loves math and the...

Posted: Tue Jan 29, 2008 12:07 am The Hazells (David here) wrote the program for real life -- We moved, put someone in the hospital, and Marie was very sick for more than a year (all at the same time) and we kept up with our school. Sure we are a bit creative at times -- Saturdays, evenings, double...

Date Posted: 12/9/2003 Hi--David here this time. As one of the authors of the curriculum and a father of 6 children, one who was very advanced in reading (reading Chronicles of Narnia on her 5th birthday), I would start K now and not rush through it. Do First Grade when she is at first grade age. O...

It is great to see your daughter has a heart for missions. As you know, we are very committed to missions and mission exposure for our children. It is an honor for us to be stewards of our children for the living King. Balancing protection and exposure can often be a challenge. We personally have co...

Dear Friends, As we approached 2008, we discovered that there were Bible projects ready for press that could not be printed simply because of lack of funds. The attached pages outline the Bible publishing needs that are still unmet from 2007 at the Institute for Bible Translation Russia. These are a...

Well, Ladies, David here answering from Turkey as I am at a ministry conference on Central Asia with one of our new employees. His response to this conference (which I have now attended for the 4th time) -- My head spins, I can't keep it all straight, there is no more room in my mind for new informa...

Dear Donna, I thought I would pipe in from the office just briefly. I fully read both threads regarding the placement of your children and your proposed solutions. First we want to welcome you to MFW. We are glad to hear that you feel MFW is the right program for your family. Your situation highligh...

Just to make it perfectly clear that MFW does not recommend doing 2 upper level programs. And all who call have been advised to set one of the packages aside. MFW emphasizes sanity for both mom and family. Our goal is to help families finish in 4-5 hours daily and less when possible. We emphasize fa...

I have absolutely LOVED the first grade MFW curriculum, so I was very excited to see the new curriculum for second grade! I have some questions, however, as to how the material regarding the US is presented. Could someone help? Our family has chosen to view the US as our mission field, not our home...

Dear Friends, This week due to the hurricane and other very needy families who have contacted us, we have decided to take back used curriculum items (any of the materials that we sell.) If you have any MFW books that you would like to donate for this, please, put them in a box, write "DONATION" on t...

There has been some discussion on this board about MFW copyright and record-keeping. We have designed the manuals for easy record keeping. You can write the date and kids' names at the top of each column as you go through. We intentionally left space for you to add page numbers or lesson numbers for...

We want you all to know that MFW has officially adopted Singapore Math as our choice math program. We struggled for 5 years to make our official choice. We evaluated a number of programs.

Dear CJ, Becoming a Bible Translator is a great goal. There are many things that you can do to get ready. But it takes work and determination. Learning your own language (English) well is a good start. When you begin learning parts of speech, sentence and paragraph structure pay close attention. Sta...
