“You hold me by my right hand;
You guide me with Your counsel,
and afterward You will take me into glory.”
(Psalm 73:23–24)

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.

Bert devoted his life to Christian education. After many years of senior leadership in Christian schools in the Netherlands, he continued his calling through ACSI Europe, serving for seven years as a volunteer consultant. In this role, he made a lasting contribution to Christian school improvement, leadership development, and the strengthening of Christian school networks across Europe. He served with wisdom, humility, and remarkable generosity.

Even during his illness, Bert remained faithful in service, encouraging colleagues and investing in leaders and students. Only weeks before his passing, he wrote of the peace and comfort of being held in the Father’s hands and of his gratitude for serving Christ through Christian education.

We thank God for Bert’s life, faith, and faithful service. We pray for the Lord’s comfort and strength for his family, and we rejoice in the hope that he is now fully home.
