Janelle Stoops joins A3, helping to build capacity and support for our expanding work
AS A3 CONTINUES TO GROW INTO NEW REGIONS AND CONTINENTS, WE ARE STRENGTHENING OUR LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE SO WE CAN STEWARD THIS SEASON WELL.
Adapting to Global Growth
Since 2008, Joe Handley has served as both CEO and President of A3. Under his leadership, A3 has grown from around ten countries to more than twenty-five and expanded its mission to develop leaders beyond the church sector. This unprecedented growth has brought new opportunities—and new challenges. To steward this season well, Joe will now focus on his role as CEO, guiding A3’s overall vision and mission.
Strengthening Our Team for the Future
Recognizing the need for additional leadership capacity, the A3 Board authorized Joe to identify a U.S. President to partner with him in leading the mission. We are thrilled to welcome Janelle Stoops as A3’s new U.S. President. Janelle will oversee U.S. operations and fund development, helping build the organizational support needed for our expanding work. As she partners with A3 to advance leadership and sustain momentum in our mission, her leadership will ensure A3 continues to thrive as our network grows across the nations.
Janelle’s appointment reflects A3’s commitment to wise stewardship and effective leadership as God opens doors across the globe. Her first day will be January 23, 2026, and we couldn’t be more excited for what lies ahead.
