2026 Day of Prayer
The ACSI Day of Prayer is an annual event that advances Christ-centered education by advocating through prayer. These past few school years have presented many unique challenges, but God has given our school communities the strength to overcome adversities and pursue new opportunities. We encourage you to join ACSI when we unite across the globe to pray for Christ-centered education next year on Tuesday, February 24, 2026.
2026 Day of Prayer Theme: Power in Prayer
This year, ACSI invites Christian educators and schools worldwide to come together under the theme “Power in Prayer.” Rooted in James 5:16, this promise reminds us that God listens and works when His people pray. Prayer isn’t about perfect words or flawless faith. It’s about humble dependence on a powerful God. Like Elijah, who was "a man with a nature like ours," we’re called to pray with confidence—not because of who we are, but because of who God is.
As we unite for the Global Day of Prayer, let’s:
- Pray boldly for the gospel to transform our schools.
- Pray continually for God to use Christian education to make disciples of all nations.
- Pray with expectation, not for our will, but for God’s
Wherever you are, whatever your role, your prayers matter. Let’s join together, trusting that God will use our prayers to move hearts, transform schools, and change the world.
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. Several clear themes emerged that are worth continued reflection and demand that we work together to strengthen our schools and their impact across our region.
In Memory of Bert Vogel
In loving memory - with deep gratitude and firm trust in his Lord and King, ACSI Europe remembers Bert Vogel, who went to be with the Lord after one year of illness on February 14, 2026.
Standing in the Gap
In January 2026, leaders from across Europe gathered in Brussels for the General Assembly of the European Association for Christian Education (EACE). With 44 participants representing 20 countries, the meeting offered a rich space for reflection, strategy, and collaboration at a time when Christian education in Europe faces both growing pressures and new opportunities.
The Hope of Christmas
As the season of Advent unfolds, Christian school communities are given a unique opportunity to pause and reflect on the true hope that Christmas brings. This hope is not simply a warm feeling of holiday cheer, but a deep confidence rooted in the reality that God has come among us in Jesus Christ.
