“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.
The Crisis of the Modern Self
How can we as Christian school leaders address the decaying sense of identity in our students and, even sometimes, in our faculty? Is there any help from God's Word to anchor our identity to something real instead of the culture and its fractured view of human identity?
ACSI Day of Prayer 2025
On March 4, 2025, join Christian school leaders, teachers and students around the world for a day of prayer. Resources are provided for schools to organize prayer-centered activities designed to focus our attention on God's presence and provision for His work through global Christian education.
A Stronger Future for Christian Education
Christian education in Europe faces growing challenges as societal norms shift and regulatory frameworks become increasingly complex. To navigate these challenges effectively, collaboration among schools, parents, school associations, and international organizations is crucial.
