The NEC 2019, held at the National Evangelical Institute for Girls & Boys (NEIGB) in Saida, focused on the theme “Unlocking Our Potential.” This gathering provided educators from over 30 Evangelical and non-Evangelical schools with a unique opportunity to network, learn, and share best practices.

The conference kicked off on April 4th with an opening ceremony at NEIGB’s newly inaugurated state-of-the-art theater. Rev. Dr. Paul Haidostian presided over the first day, followed by Rev. Dr. Habib Badr on the second.
