It's All About Learning, After All: Estuardo "Stuart" Salazar, ACSI Latin America Divisional Director

Estuardo “Stuart” Salazar is a Guatemalan Christian educator and ministry leader, serving as the Director for ACSI Latin America since 1990. A former prodigal turned Bible teacher, he transformed after years of rebellion, addiction, and jail. Restored by God’s grace, he returned to the Christian school that expelled him, this time as a teacher. He graduated from seminary, earned a Master’s in Educational Leadership from Regent University, and is completing a Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership. Alongside his wife Sheny, Stuart pioneered ACSI’s first office outside North America, developing a regional network serving schools across Latin America through teams in Guatemala, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Paraguay. Their ministry has impacted thousands of teachers and students through training, resources, and conferences. Stuart and Sheny have two grown children, Andy and Sareth, both active in Christian education. Stuart’s life reflects a story of redemption, vision, and commitment to biblically centered education.Connect with us!
