CEC Testimonies - 2006

New Mexico

I have been to many conventions of various ministries, and the A.C.E. convention is by far one of the most outstanding I’ve had the privilege of attending. Your passion for what you do is very contagious throughout your presentations. I enjoyed all of them.

Thank you for all the encouragement I received today. I have many nuggets to take back for improving our Learning Center procedures.

New York

This was my first year attending an A.C.E. convention. I was very blessed with the information presented in the seminars. As a member of the school board, I now have a better understanding of what our school is all about.

Thank you very much for the encouragements you gave and the challenges I received to keep on keeping on. I really needed it at this time in my life.

North Carolina

Thank you so much for all I have learned today. The continued encouragement of A.C.E. ministries and its staff is a great blessing.

The speakers were very good in meeting our needs for this year. I have always enjoyed the spiritual applications presented in the sessions.

Ohio

I enjoy Christian Educators’ Convention. It is very helpful. It renews my vision each year and gives me insight to help our Learning Center have a successful year.

The A.C.E. Christian Educators’ Convention always leaves me feeling motivated and ready to make a difference in the lives of children. I appreciate all of the tips, guidance, ideas, and reminders given throughout the day, and I’m always eager to get back to school and put them into practice.

This is my first time to attend an A.C.E. convention. It was very informative and has made me, a new supervisor, excited about the curriculum.

The workshops and general sessions were excellent and so relevant to the situations I am faced with in the ministry.

Oklahoma

The convention was great! It was so organized, positive, and encouraging in its Scriptural knowledge and academic ideas!

The convention helped me and challenged my heart in ways to serve and reach out to the youth of our world.

The speakers were excellent. I was encouraged when I left and was reminded of the calling in my life.

Pennsylvania - Eastern

This was my first year attending an A.C.E. convention, and I was truly blessed. Not only did I learn about the program, but I learned how to deal with different students and situations. I also received encouragement for myself.

This is my first time attending CEC, and I am very excited about this school year. God has blessed me by allowing me to be here and learn from such passionate and outgoing speakers.

I am blessed! Thank you for this day of refreshment and challenge. I always come home with a more focused vision of what God can do through my life and through the ministry of our school.

CEC is always a great help to me personally. My vision is always broadened, and my appreciation for the A.C.E. ministry in educating our youth is heightened.

Pennsylvania - Western

I love convention! I could not imagine having a year without it! It is such a motivator for myself and my staff. I love the time away with my staff; the time to just enjoy each other’s fellowship; and free time to share thoughts, ideas, and visions with one another.

This has been a wonderful convention. Every session has been helpful, insightful, and enjoyable. This was by far the best convention I’ve attended over the last several years.

It was such a blessing to be a part of this year’s educators’ convention. I was encouraged and ready to go back to my Learning Center to care for my students. Thank you again.
