Imagine settling down into your chair as you wait for the orchestra to begin their performance. A hush falls over the audience, and you feel anticipation as the pianist’s fingers begin to dance across the keys. These sounds are joined by the lilting notes of a flute, followed by the bold beats of a drum.

The person who led John Stott to the Lord, wrote a letter to him each week for the first five years following his conversion. John Stott has been greatly used of God as a gifted world-wide Bible teacher for many years. Some people suggest that this person was more responsible for John Stott’s amazing ministry than any other human influence on his life.

This week, we said goodbye to one of the most faithful friends and board members our mission has ever known.

This week has been full of sobering developments in the Middle East. We have been reminded how fragile parts of our world remain.
I’d like to share an update regarding the Middle East and invite you to pray with the A3 Community for this situation, especially on Thursday, March 5th.

CHANGING THE FEW WHO CHANGE THE MANY

By EDMUND CHAN, A3 FACULTY
One of the most urgent agendas in church leadership today is not innovation, expansion, or even relevance. It is revitalisation – the revitalisation of the church, through biblical discipleship, that will win the lost, nurture church health, and empower deep change.

My husband is an alumnus of A3. Each time he came home from A3 programs, he used to share with us the life transformation stories. Then I remember thinking, “Why don't we get this opportunity? Why only men?”
