Presenters
Sunny Raybern
Community & Social Media Manager
Sunny has loved books for as long as she can remember. Her own parents discovered Sonlight at a convention and knew the literature and history focus would be perfect for her. She never planned to homeschool her own children past pre-k, but when her daughter learned to read, she was hooked. She has educated both of her children entirely with Sonlight. In her spare time, Sunny enjoys reading (of course), musicals, hiking, and being in or near water.
Johna Lawrence
Marketing & Product Development Coordinator
Johna is a mom, a Marmee, a Homeschool Administrator and in her spare Mission Board Treasurer. After 23 years of teaching her children and being involved in Homeschool Co-Ops as teacher and in leadership, she has found her biggest passion outside of her family is helping families find the joy of homeschooling, to approach it without fear, and to love the moments as they present themselves. Johna has used Sonlight since their first curriculum purchase in 1999, with four different learning styles with four children it has been the perfect fit for their family. Her favorite verse for approaching life, comes from 2 Timothy 1:7.
“ for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”

She has been homeschooling since 2002 when her oldest child began pre-k with Sonlight. Amber has five children – one attending graduate school, two in college, one in high school, and one in 6th grade. Because of her husband's graduate schooling and employment, she has had the opportunity to homeschool in four different states. Currently living in Lynchburg, VA, Amber is a full-time homemaker who enjoys encouraging others by serving in children's ministry, mentoring college girls, and leading a ladies' bible study.
