Takeshi wants "Eastern Voices" to introduce Asian leaders to the West and to promote dialogue
On May 1st, A3 released a brand new series called, Eastern Voices: Insight, Perspective, and Vision from Kingdom Leaders in Asia In Their Own Words.
"I want you to listen to Asian leaders' voices."
In part 2 of his introduction, Takeshi Takazawa expands on how the reader can best engage "Eastern Voices"—getting to know the writers as people, hearing their stories, and thinking of questions that could be asked of their brothers and sisters in Asia that would help to build and deepen the conversation.
The concept of Eastern Voices is the brainchild of Takeshi Takazawa who has long felt that leaders in the West and those in the East should dialogue together. His desire is to promote ongoing discussion which leads to greater mutual understanding and appreciation:
"I want Eastern Voices to communicate our image, our expression—how God inspired us to express the global universal Church in each of the situations. We would like to dialogue so that we understand God's heart together. So I'm not saying that this Eastern voices is a replacement of Western motif. We need both... North, South, West and East. So I'm very excited that this book will be a small attempt, but it will help us to understand God's global vision for the Church and His mission."
