IMPORTANT NOTICE TO A3 DONORS
A3 has moved to a new donor platform called Virtuous! Our existing donor platform was shut down for a week to prepare for the new platform launching the week of March 27-31, 2023. We are sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused you.
Existing donor information will be transferred. However, for security reasons, banking and credit card data will not be brought over. Therefore, if you have a recurring donation to A3 (via direct debit or credit card), you will need to re-establish your recurring donation on the Virtuous platform starting in April 2023.
FOR ONLINE DONATIONS:
- Online donations through March 20, 2023 were processed through our previous donation platform before being taken offline March 21.
- Our new online giving portal is being relaunched the week of March 27-31, 2023 with new capabilities, including an optional account to view/manage gifts online.
- We have begun rolling out new donation forms for PROJECTS & MISSIONARIES which work well on computers, but not on mobile devices yet. We will continue to rollout more features in the coming days.
FOR RECURRING DONATIONS:
Certain donors will be impacted immediately. If you are in the impacted group that is migrating in April, you should have received an email on March 21, 2023 and a hard copy letter a few days later with additional action steps. If you did get this communication, . . .
Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience. We value your data and have determined it was more secure not to transfer your credit card information during the migration.
- March gifts were processed as usual under our old platform but then will came to an end.
- After the online giving portal is restored the week of March 27, 2023, donors who would like to continue their automated donations will need to login to the new giving portal and set up their recurring donation(s) on the new platform. You can do this starting in April to ensure no gap in your recurring donation.
Furthermore, we are confident that the new online donation platform will provide a better donor/partner experience compared to our old online platform. In addition, we will save quite a bit by making this switch. Thank you for your understanding. We appreciate your partnership!
MULTIPLY.
> reproduce & thrive
A3 is a vibrant community that seeks to multiplication.
We are to be fruitful and multiply. We are to make disciples as we go. We reproduce ourselves in others (multiply disciples) and multiply the influence of Christ in our worlds (leaders, churches and communities).
- "Be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth
and increase upon it." (Gen 9:7) - "If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit." (John 15:5)
- “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations…” (Matt 28:19)
-
“… entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.” (2 Tim 2:2)
We are committed to reproduction on all levels:
- Personal Multiplication: We are leaders serving leaders. Disciples should be making more disciples, but multiplication requires death to self.
- Generally, multiplication comes after death to self: "Unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds." (John 12:24)
- Leaders and Disciples: Develop leaders who reproduce themselves in others—leaders who multiply disciples. Disciples who multiply more disciples, some of whom may be leaders who try to bring about Spirit-led change.
- Congregations & Churches & Movements: We want to develop leaders who multiply churches that impact their communities, reach new believers, and reproduce new churches. We want movements that spawn Christ-centered change in society.

Church Multiplication
A3 is a vibrant community that seeks to multiply on all levels: believers, leaders, churches.
A Proven Model Developed in Japan for Multiplying Churches
Perhaps the greatest contribution that A3 has made to the work of the church and the work of the Gospel in Japan has been the development of a proven model and a strategy for church multiplication. This is an innovative way to multiply churches—sometimes with missionaries and sometimes without!
Church Multiplication Across the Globe
Though Japan has missionaries for the work of church multiplication, this work will likely look different in other countries. Political situations alone dictate this. Yet, we trust that a possible result of our leader development model is the fostering of a church multiplication vision wherever we equip leaders.
