School construction, growth, and improvement describe the German Christian school movement. Christian leaders have realized that this is the time to establish and expand Christian schools. The Lord has given an open door for this in Germany. We have met many Christian school leaders who had a strong vision for Christian schooling. Both Christian and non-christian families recognize the great value of Christian school education. At several schools there is a long waiting list, and therefore the schools are expanding.

We had many opportunities to share with Christian school students of all ages. When you talk to the students you can really see the fruit of the labor of their teachers. These students have shown great maturity of their faith in the Lord. 
Let us pray for the students of the 100+ Christian schools in Germany that they may be thoroughly equipped and prepared for a life of service to the Kingdom and to their society. 

It was a special privilege to attend the VEBS Leadership Conference during our time in Germany. This event focused on preparing Christian school leaders to be "resilient leaders", who can withstand the spiritual and physical challenges that Christian leaders are facing today. This gathering also gave us the opportunity to meet with more leaders of the VEBS Christian schools in Germany.

One of the most inspiring testimonies we heard during our school visits was the one that told the story of how military compounds with all their buildings have been turned into Christian schools. Some of these buildings were used by Hitler's army before and during WWII, and today -after great renovations- they serve hundreds of families, educating their children in the TRUTH. 

Laci and Mike would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to all the Christian school leaders who welcomed us to their schools, and especially to Michael Pieper, director of George Müller Christian School in Bielefeld and Berthold Meier, chief secretary of VEBS for their great help in organizing our program in Germany.
