A3 MADE US A COMMUNITY

"A3 has been a blessing to our nation [not identified for security reasons]. Before A3, we had been trying different strategies to bring our leaders together and to have like-mindedness. None of this, of course, actually really worked. But when A3 came to our country, it really blessed our nation and our leaders. Starting with the first batch and now what we are doing with our current second batch has really transformed the way we leaders used to be. We have become united; we have become like-minded. We have also become prayer support partners for one another.

We have become ministry partners with each other—like many of the things that we do, we plan together, we have begun to work together and to plan for our nation in our thinking... "Let's do this! Let's do that!" A3 has been a very great blessing to us. And A3 is something that we would really love to pursue. We would really give our life for that!

A3 Leader Development Participants

Leaders with Potential . . . not Potential Leaders

A3 ParticipantsA3 participants are screened and selected by a group of senior leaders and advisors. They are selected generally according to the following criteria...

  • They should be leaders of exemplary Christian character and solid biblical convictions.
  • They generally subscribe to a theology that is consistent with evangelical faith.
  • They are leaders who have established a strong early track record that demonstrates that they have potential for growth that is significantly above the norm. We are focused on "leaders with potential" rather than on "potential leaders."
  • They are innovators and early adopters. A3 is committed to selecting leaders who would be identified as curious leaders inclined to adopt and adapt new ideas.
  • The leaders selected will be people who have an expanding circle of influence, regardless of which sphere of society they operate in (church, marketplace, etc.)

In each country, these definitions will be adapted to the realities of their particular context.

Learning Communities

We place these leaders into cohorts that are learning communities where they meet together and learn together over a two-year period. This is often where transformation happens in the life of almost every participant.

From time to time, as is appropriate, we will highlight some of our participants and tell their stories. Due to security issues, we must be very careful about publishing exactly who the A3 participants are. Even so, we can describe typical participants in general terms.

Líderes con Potencial... no Líderes Potenciales

A3 ParticipantsLos participantes del programa A3 son evaluados y seleccionados por un grupo de líderes y asesores sénior. Generalmente, se seleccionan según los siguientes criterios:

  • Deben ser líderes con un carácter cristiano ejemplar y sólidas convicciones bíblicas.
  • Generalmente pertenecen a una teología coherente con la fe evangélica.
  • Son líderes que han establecido una sólida trayectoria inicial que demuestra un potencial de crecimiento muy superior al promedio. Nos centramos en "líderes con potencial" más que en "líderes potenciales".
  • Son innovadores y pioneros en la adopción de nuevas ideas. A3 se compromete a seleccionar líderes que se identifiquen como líderes curiosos, proclives a adoptar y adaptar nuevas ideas.
  • Los líderes seleccionados serán personas con un círculo de influencia en expansión, independientemente del ámbito social en el que operen (iglesia, laboral, etc.).

En cada país, estos criterios se adaptaran a las realidades del contexto particular del mismo.

Comunidades de Aprendizaje

Estos líderes participan en cohortes que funcionan como comunidades de aprendizaje donde se reúnen y aprenden juntos durante un período de dos años. Aquí es donde se produce una transformación en la vida de casi todos los participantes.

From time to time, as is appropriate, we will highlight some of our participants and tell their stories. Due to security issues, we must be very careful about publishing exactly who the A3 participants are. Even so, we can describe typical participants in general terms.
