Current news and prayer requests from ACSI Europe
Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord!
In this edition of ACSI Europe HIGHLIGHTS I would like to give you a brief report on two trips of visiting Christian schools.
Jesus says in Luke 17:21 "the kingdom of God is in your midst". During the two weeks before Easter, I was visiting Christian schools in the USA and in Romania. In the USA I was with 22 Christian school leaders from Germany, Czech Republic, Romania, and Hungary visiting four Christian schools. We learned a lot about what makes Christian schools effective in preparing the next generation for God's Kingdom work. Then I was visiting four Christian schools in Romania with two Christian school leaders from Holland. We met with school leaders, spoke to teachers, and student groups during our visits. I can summarise our experiences at the Christian schools best by saying that we had a chance to experience and enjoy the kingdom of God through the school communities we were visiting.

March 2026 Highlights
In early March, Christian school leaders from across Europe and beyond gathered in Budapest for the International Educational Leadership Conference (IELC 2026) under the theme “On Mission, On Guard.” Over 3 days of learning, prayer, and deep conversation, participants were encouraged not only to lead well today but to endure faithfully in the long-term calling of Christian education.

Moving beyond insight toward implementation, this article highlights how intentional systems and collaborative tools such as CSIP can help leadership teams translate mission vision into consistent practice and long-term school improvement.
Framing Our Teaching with a Biblical Worldview
What is education for? For educators, there is perhaps no more important question than this one. Our answer defines what we believe our profession is about and frames the way we teach and how our students learn. For Christian educators, our understanding of the purpose of education needs to be framed by a Biblical worldview.
Insights from Christian School Leaders - part 2
Survey insights reveal that while Christian schools across Europe hold strong mission convictions, sustaining alignment in daily practice requires intentional leadership structures. This article explores key needs such as teacher formation, mission-informed decision making, and regular rhythms of strategic reflection.
