FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 28, 2010 --

COLUMBIA, SC, Jan. 26 -- Frontline Ministries, Inc., and the Exodus Mandate Project ( www.Exodusmandate.org ) announced today that Mr. and Mrs. Paul and Gena Suarez are the joint recipients of the 2009 Dr. Robert Dreyfus Courageous Christian Leadership Award. Established by Frontline Ministries, Inc., in 2007, this award honors and recognizes Christian leaders who have exhibited moral courage through their unique contribution to the Church by advancing Christianity in the culture and life of the nation. This contribution and ministry may be in the face of opposition or it may run counter to the prevailing culture of Church and society. Chaplain Moore said of Mr. and Mrs. Suarez, "This couple has made a tremendous contribution to homeschool education through the founding and publishing of The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine (www.thehomeschoolmagazine.com. Their magazine has grown into the largest Christian homeschool magazine in the United States."

Starting with a humble beginning in spring of 2000, not as a magazine, but as on on-line e-Bay business, selling used textbooks and curricula to homeschool families throughout the United States and abroad, it flourished to a 12 page black and white flyer (The Old Schoolhouse Newsletter) in 2001, and then proceeded to becoming a full-color glossy magazine with paying advertisers in 2002 called The The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine (TOS).

Since then, the Lord has blessed their efforts and has expanded TOS with the addition of a blogging community (HomeschoolBlogger.com), an on-line store (TheOldSchoolhouseStore.com), and a number of other homeschool-associated websites.

TOS Magazine exists to support and encourage the Christian homeschooler.

Says Gena Suarez, "For the Christian, 'homeschooling' is not merely about 'schooling' or 'education.' Homeschooling is about discipleship -- cultivating a love for God in our children's hearts (Proverbs 22:6)." TOS Magazine is inclusive with respect to educational methodology, allowing "experts" to freely talk to the homeschool community about the various education methods available to them, as well as providing an endless array of educational resources, product reviews and heartwarming, encouraging articles written by homeschool columnists.

TOS Magazine exists to bless the Church. It is their objective to educate and warn the Church on the true nature of the Public School Institution -- to provide the Church with an accurate picture of the public school profile. "No other entity or establishment has succeeded in inflicting more injury to the Body of Christ in this country than the Public School System," said recipient Paul Suarez.

TOS Magazine exists to bless the non-Christians -- to share the Gospel with homeschooling families who have not yet embraced Christ. While there are few non-Christian homeschoolers who subscribe to the magazine, most of their contact with such homeschoolers takes place through their blogging community on HomeschoolBlogger.com (HSB).
