Highlights for April 2017
Current news and prayer requests from ACSI Europe
Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord!
In this edition of ACSI Europe HIGHLIGHTS I would like to give you a brief report on two trips of visiting Christian schools.
Jesus says in Luke 17:21 "the kingdom of God is in your midst". During the two weeks before Easter, I was visiting Christian schools in the USA and in Romania. In the USA I was with 22 Christian school leaders from Germany, Czech Republic, Romania, and Hungary visiting four Christian schools. We learned a lot about what makes Christian schools effective in preparing the next generation for God's Kingdom work. Then I was visiting four Christian schools in Romania with two Christian school leaders from Holland. We met with school leaders, spoke to teachers, and student groups during our visits. I can summarise our experiences at the Christian schools best by saying that we had a chance to experience and enjoy the kingdom of God through the school communities we were visiting.

Strong and Courageous: The Impact of SLC 2026
This last month, students and teachers from Christian schools across Europe gathered for the 2026 Student Leadership Conference (SLC). Over three events, two weeks in Hungary and one in the UK, young people from more than 50 Christian schools worshipped together, studied God's Word, attended practical leadership workshops and met in small discussion groups led by their peers.
Spain's Christian Schools Take Steps Toward a National Federation
Evangelical Christian schools in Spain are preparing to take a significant step together. At the 5th Forum on Christ-Centred Education, held in Barcelona on 30–31 October 2026, educators will be presented with a project to form a national federation of Protestant Christian schools.
The week after SLC
The week after SLC or any event that challenges student growth is a huge opportunity - don't miss it! Many of our students are teenagers in European schools where living out a Christian faith can be difficult, where speaking up takes courage that does not come naturally, where identifying as a Christ-follower may not be received be warmly. How will we as teachers and school leaders engage them in their next steps of faith and leadership?
ACSI Europe Art Show Winners 2026
We would like to congratulate all the wonderful students who participated in our first ACSI Europe Art Show responding to the theme of "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.". We were very encouraged to receive over 60 art pieces from schools all across Europe — a remarkable debut for this new tradition.
