CEC Testimonies - 2009

"Thank you for consistently encouraging us every fall."

"Another awesome conference! Congratulations on 40 years!"

"Each year I get so much inspiration and motivation from the Convention. It is a blessing and an encouragement to me. God bless you all."

"We can see Mrs. Howard’s love and concern for the future of A.C.E. and our students. What a privilege to have a Christian school."

"Excellent sessions this year!"

"The General Session, Education: Divine Verdict, helped me know how to talk to others about why a Christian school is so important. I’ll be able to explain to my neighbors about our school as well as our faith."

"Thank you for sticking with the King James Version of the Bible and using the Scriptures throughout all of the PACEs. The character traits are great for our students."

"As always, I was blessed immeasurably at this Convention. Thank you so very much."

"We have been with A.C.E. for 30 years and have been blessed and encouraged over the years by the Educators’ Conventions. They have helped us to keep going and have challenged us in our spiritual commitment and growth."

"Thank you so much for the time and effort that went into making this year’s CEC once again a special and encouraging time. I enjoyed every aspect! Keep up the good work!"

"What a privilege to celebrate together 40 years of Christian education."

"A.C.E. leads the world in character-building Christian education. A.C.E. is definitely in touch with what’s going on in the world and has prepared an antidote for the diseases against young lives."

"This Convention is the highlight of my year. There is such a wealth of information here, and it keeps my memory fresh so I can continue motivating and supporting students and parents."

"The Convention was great! I learned several things this year and had several things reinforced which was not only good for me, but also for the staff in my school."

"The General Session with Dr. Johnson was dynamic, encouraging, and a wonderful reminder of why we use A.C.E. Having graduated 18 months ago with a M.Ed., I was thrilled when much of what I had learned was covered in this session at Convention. It supported what I have been telling my staff. Thank you, thank you!"

"The topics were much needed, even for someone who has been a part of A.C.E. for some time."

"Thank you, Mrs. Howard, and your staff for your commitment and faithfulness to Christian education. I am thankful for our heritage and very excited for our future."

"I appreciate the dedication of the Howards and the A.C.E. staff whose vision is more than education, but the love of and for God."

"Catch a child doing right—I needed to be reminded to give positive encouragements."

"Every time I attend the Convention, it solidifies my love for Christian education."

"I have had a wonderful time. After 25 years in the ministry, I am leaving CEC with a fresh zeal and excitement. It’s so good to know I am part of a wonderful group of folks who have given their lives for the children of the future."

"Dr. Johnson’s sessions were very practical and have inspired me to be prepared to stand up for the fantastic opportunity we have through A.C.E. to train up our children in Christ."

"The General Sessions were tremendous. It is encouraging to know that secular education finally realizes the real value of individualized education."

"The workshops are always such a blessing. They were very informative, but more important, were spiritually uplifting and encouraging."

"The Convention was encouraging and rejuvenating."

"Today was my first time coming to such an event. I enjoyed the whole day! I was extremely encouraged!"
