40th Anniversary
Educators' Conference Highlights
40 Years! What a joy it was to celebrate the blessings of God on our MAACS member schools these 40 years. It was great to catch up and fellowship with new and old friends alike. We had a large number of wonderful speakers including our keynote speakers, Dr. Les Ollila, Dr. Jeff Walton, and Dr. Dan Anderson. Along with these men, we enjoyed many educational workshop speakers as well. A special thank you to our exhibitors and sponsors that help make it all possible at an affordable price.
At one point in the conference, Jesse Wicks, from First Baptist School in Nebraska asked from the podium for everyone who was in attendance to stand who was under 40 years old. Incredibly over half the room stood to their feet. This was a great way for all to quickly see how God has blessed our schools with new leadership and teachers through the ministry of previous teachers throughout our organization. The future is bright.
A few testimonies from the Conference:
“ What a blessing! Our faculty and staff so enjoyed the general sessions, reflections on the past, and the rejoicing in the present ministry that we have in Christian education. Thank you! “Administrator
“ I loved the general sessions, focusing on the philosophy of Christian education and the practical workshops and great fellowship with other schools in our region. What a blessing ! I am recharged for the privilege of teaching my students and working with their families .” Teacher
“ I always enjoy being a part of the MAACS Educators Conf I have made friendships with many pastors, principals, and teachers over the years. Thank you for another great conference”. Exhibitor
One special part of the conference was the opportunity to honor Dr. and Mrs. Tom Graham for their many years serving MAACS in leadership and administrative roles.
We praise God for his many blessings on MAACS and this year's conference.
