Philippines (MNN) — Relief aid is pouring into the Philippines, but it’s not reaching everyone. Thankfully, local believers have access to those in need. Their connections within remote communities are proving crucial.

Vietnam (MNN) — After it deluged the Philippines, Typhoon Bualoi struck Vietnam early Monday. It is the worst storm to hit the nation this year. By Tuesday, the death toll had risen to 26 people, with at least 22 missing. In the Philippines, at least 10 people lost their lives.

Philippines (MNN) — Tens of thousands of Filipinos rallied in Manila on Sunday to protest alleged corruption in the nation.


India (MNN) — Refugees or illegal immigrants? India’s Supreme Court will soon rule on which category the Rohingya of Myanmar fall into.

When I was first invited for A3, I was quite reluctant because I had just finished my MTh (Master of Theology), and I didn't want to go through another course, so to speak. But then I was reassured that it's not a course of lots of reading, but it's something different. So I said, “Okay, fine. If that's what it is, I probably would join in.”

When I saw Joe Handley’s recent post about the global impact A3 is poised to have, something stirred in me.
Because what I see happening through A3 is not theoretical. It is not branding. It is not institutional expansion. It is something we’ve been living on the ground for years.

Nepal (MNN) — Nepal’s Gen Z continues to rock the nation with protests against government corruption.

This month, A3 took an exciting new step forward as we launched our very first orientation program in Cameroon. What began as a simple gathering for equipping leaders quickly turned into a deeply moving encounter with the Lord — one that is already bearing fruit in the lives of participants.

Cambodia (MNN) — Almost before a conflict really started, the clash between Thailand and Cambodia is over. A ceasefire between the two nations went into effect Monday at midnight.

Before coming to A3, I was a leader in a liminal space—transitioning from what was to what is about to come. I felt anxious, doubtful, and undeserving of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. But the invitation I heard from God through our first quiet time during the A3 retreat at the Christian Development Centre in Tagaytay was:

“Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained.”
