During our Spring Break the Black Forest Academy hosted the I.C.E. Conference. It was attended by 200 delegates from 25 international Christian schools (plus BFA's staff) from countries like: Russia, Madrid, Prague, Kazakhstan, Albania, Niger, Mali, Turkey, Tanzania... We had great speakers, training workshops, testimonies, and teaching materials made available to us. It was so exciting to hear how God has been working through the ministry of education around the world and it was such a privilege to be amongst such an elite and humble group of God's servants. As a new teacher I attended workshops that gave me creative teaching tips and some how-to's on class discipline. As a result of the conference I gained an even greater appreciation of the value of Christian education particularly as a means of discipling young people for Christ. We are training young people to think Biblically in every area of study, on every issue that we are confronted with, and in whatever culture we find ourselves in.
Three work teams from churches in the USA came to serve at this conference. They did an enormous amount of cleaning, set-up and take-down, waiting on tables, and running a childrens' program. They came at their own expense so that most of us on staff at BFA could attend this conference.
Marshall had the privilege of playing his drums with the team that led worship for the conference.
