2022 Day of Prayer

dayofprayer22

 

The ACSI Day of Prayer is an annual event that advances Christ-centered education by advocating through prayer. There is no doubt that this school year has been unique and often challenging, but God desires for His people to flourish despite the surrounding circumstances. Therefore, we encourage you to plan ahead to join ACSI next year as we unite globally to pray for Christ-centered education on Tuesday, February 15, 2022.

2022 Day of Prayer Theme: Flourish

Several times throughout the Bible, the concept of “flourish” predominantly refers to those who seek God in all His ways. Since ACSI desires to point students to Jesus Christ, we took a few years to explore what helps Christian schools to flourish.

Despite the challenges that faced the first church, we are reminded in Acts 12 that “the word of God continued to spread and flourish.” Today, we may be facing different obstacles, but the same God that helped generations of believers is the same God that will help you, your students and your school community today.

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots to the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8

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 1

At IELC 2026, school leaders from across Europe participated in a short survey designed to explore a simple but important question: How closely do our daily practices reflect the Christian mission we profess? The responses provided a valuable snapshot of the current reality in many European Christian schools.
