Leadership Legacy
One leader can equip and empower hundreds of educators, who impact thousands of students.
ACSI’s Leadership Legacy program strategically identifies, equips, and empowers key leaders to lead the Christian schooling movement within their own cultural context. Currently serving across six global divisions, ACSI's global leaders and teams provide mentorship, training, resources, and encouragement to thousands of Christian schools worldwide.
Leadership Legacy Fund
The transformative work of ACSI’s global leaders is made possible by the Leadership Legacy Fund and the faithful champions of Christian education who invest in our mission. A recurring monthly donation or a one-time contribution to the Leadership Legacy Fund will help make it possible for ACSI's worldwide mission to continue and make a lasting difference in the lives of the educators and students we serve.

Asia Pacific
Out of the 250 million people living in the Asia Pacific division, only 7.1% identify as Christian. Additionally, with 4 million school-age children across the 20 countries in the region that we serve, there is a demand for thousands more Christian schools in the area. Although these challenges are significant, the opportunities are even greater. The people of South Asia are in need of Jesus, and the most effective way to reach millions within the population is through Christian education.
 | “Everything we do in ACSI is about expanding kingdom of God, and He calls us to work together as a body of Christ, to collaborate. God is also at work in Asia Pacific seeing He uses Christian parents, teachers, and leaders to minister His children together. It becomes possible because of the generous support and prayers from you! Terima kasih.” |

East Asia
From the megacities of China and Indonesia to the remote Mongolian grasslands and isolated Philippine islands, and from the mountains of Japan to the rice fields and rainforests of Thailand and Vietnam, this global division is vibrant and diverse. It is home to 2.3 billion people and 3,355 people groups, with over 95% of them living in spiritual darkness. Despite immense challenges such as religious persecution, security, and mobility, ACSI Each Asia remains dedicated to breaking barriers and finding creative ways to reach those who have not yet heard the Good News through Christian education.
 | "God works in mighty ways to advance His kingdom despite the challenges in East Asia. The family of believers remain faithful and dedicated to pursuing Christian education at all costs through hardship. God is opening doors to keep the mission of the Great Commission alive through ACSI. Thank you for your partnership and prayers. The support you give makes an eternal difference in the lives of students and educators here in East Asia. " |

Europe
ACSI Europe is a highly regarded Christian professional organization that operates in over 40 countries. They are recognized and respected by member schools and partner associations that they support and collaborate with. Serving diverse countries and cultures brings many challenges, such as language barriers, regulations, finances, politics, and religious denominations. However, the team continues to find ways to provide valuable services to Christian schools. These services include annual student and educator leadership conferences, as well as the Christian School Improvement Platform.
 | “Praise the Lord for ACSI’s presence in Europe! We have seen hundreds of Christian schools open and develop to become truly Christian in all of its operation and services, thanks to the professional and spiritual support and services provided by our ACSI staff. As a result of the efforts of these Christian schools our countries in Europe are blessed with a new generation of people of character, who are thoroughly equipped for every good work as it is written in 2 Timothy 3:17.” |

Latin America
In the early 1990s, Estuardo "Stuart" Salazar approached ACSI with the idea of expanding the organization's reach into Latin America. This was a turning point in ACSI's history, as it marked the beginning of ACSI's global footprint and Leadership Legacy program. Since then, the program has had a significant impact on Christian education in the region and around the world. Under Stuart’s leadership, ACSI Latin America has grown over the last three decades to become a leading provider of educational resources and support for more than 2,000 Christian schools across 20+ countries. The team consistently strives to expand its impact and offerings by focusing on initiatives that directly benefit schools and students. These initiatives include operational expansion, school improvement programs, and the publication of educational series and studies.
 | “Advancing God's plan through Christian education has been exciting and wonderful for 33 years. This has been possible through generous-hearted people like ACSI Leadership Legacy Fund. This allows the uplifting of Christian schools
in Mexico, Central and South America, Brazil, and the Caribbean in Latin America. From the bottom of our hearts MUCHAS GRACIAS (thank you very much), beloved brothers and sisters. You are sowing in good soil; God will continue to bring
much fruit thanks to your determined work and service.” |

North America
ACSI North America, our newly-formed global division, is experiencing growth! With over 2,200 member schools representing more than 600,000 students in Canada and the United States, we celebrate the incredible work that God is doing through our Christian school educators. As we introduce new areas of ministry, such as the Start a Christian School Program and the Great Commission Project, we eagerly anticipate the expansion of our national and local networks of member schools and leaders within the division.
 | "Please pray for us as we implement our exciting Vision 2030 strategic plan, and continue to strengthen our Christian schools, and equip thousands of Christian educators across North America as they prepare students academically and inspire them to become devoted followers of Jesus Christ. Great days ahead!” |
South Asia
ACSI South Asia serves a region that includes Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. These countries collectively account for nearly 2 billion people, which is approximately a quarter of the world's population. Out of this total, 627 million people are under the age of 18, and only 1.8% identify as Christian. The demand for Christian education in South Asia is significant, and ACSI is well-positioned to provide the necessary support to increase the number of Christian schools in the region. ACSI South Asia is also committed to distributing valuable resources to thousands of Christian educators, many of which are facing persecution and corruption, and ultimately impact a greater number of students for Christ.
