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:

1. 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)
2. 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.
3. 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.

The Need for More Churches "Today five out of six non-Christians in our world have no hope unless missionaries come to them and plant the church among them."

David Bryant

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.
