Dear Praying Friends of ACSI Europe,

We are delighted to report to you that your faithful support of prayers and giving enabled us to provide another blessed event for 185 Christian school leaders from 24 countries.

The International Educational Leadership Conference was held in Budapest on March 1-4. Our conference theme was LEADING FROM THE HEART. Four keynote sessions addressed the various aspects of Christian school leadership, ten workshops in two sessions dealt with practical application of Christian leadership, and a panel discussion provided the opportunity for asking hard questions on Christian school leadership.

Besides the teaching sessions of the conference, there were two sessions dedicated to developing partnership among Christian schools. During this session, schools set up display tables with their school brochures, and ideas for partnership while the other half of the participants visited their displays. During the other partnership session the second half of the schools set up display tables and the rest of the conference participants visited them.

Each person in the picture represents a different country. We are committed to be praying for each other as part of the global Christian school leadership community.
May God continue to use the Christian schools in advancing His Kingdom.

The hope of Christ-centered education is not in education as the solution, but rather in Christ as the solution and in education as a process to knowing Him and engaging in His world.
