How to Use Your Arkansas EFA Funds

Simple Ways to Order with Messages from Christ

We’re excited to share that Messages from Christ is an approved vendor for the Arkansas Education Freedom Account (EFA) program!

Arkansas families can use their EFA funds to purchase our faith-based subscription boxes, homeschool resources, and printables — helping your child grow in faith while learning at home.

How Arkansas EFA Works (2025–2026)

Arkansas currently uses ClassWallet for vendor payments.

Unlike some states, there is no public shopping marketplace at this time.

Instead, families purchase directly from vendors and submit invoices through ClassWallet for reimbursement or direct payment.

Good news — we make this process simple!

🛍️ Two Easy Ways to Order

Option 1: Parent Purchase + Reimbursement

1. Shop our EFA-approved products on our website.

2. Complete checkout using your preferred payment method.
3. After purchase, save your receipt or request an invoice from us.
4. Log in to your ClassWallet account and submit the receipt/invoice for reimbursement.

Option 2: Direct Pay Through ClassWallet (No Upfront Payment)

You can place your order directly through our website without paying anything upfront! Simply follow these steps:

1. Shop Our Website: Add the items you'd like to purchase to your cart.
2. Place Your Order: At checkout, select "Pay with ESA/EFA" as your payment method. This will create your order without requiring payment.
3. Request Your Invoice: Email us at hello@messagesfromchrist.shop with your order number and student's name to request a detailed invoice.
4. Submit for Direct Pay: Upload the invoice to your ClassWallet account and request Direct Pay.
5. We'll Ship Your Order! Once ClassWallet approves and processes your payment, we'll get your order packed and shipped!

✨ No upfront payment required! Your order will be reserved while you complete the ClassWallet Direct Pay process.

What Your Invoice Will Include

To meet Arkansas EFA requirements, our invoices include:

• Vendor name: Messages from Christ
• Purchase date
• Student name
• Item description
  (Example: “Monthly Bible Activity Box – March”)
• Itemized pricing
• Total amount

This helps ensure quick approval.

Important Information

No Marketplace (Currently)
Arkansas does not currently offer a public vendor marketplace. All purchases are invoice-based through ClassWallet.

One-Time Purchases Only
EFA funds cannot be used for recurring subscriptions.
You can, however, purchase 6-month or 12-month subscriptions with a one-time payment.

Future Updates
The Arkansas Department of Education has indicated that the invoicing process may be updated later. We’ll share any changes as they become available.
