The mission of A3 is to identify, develop and release emerging kingdom leaders to unite the church, multiply leaders and congregations and extend the transforming power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. But just who are emerging kingdom leaders? After all, these are our primary customers.
For the last three decades, A3's constituency has been pastors. Our target has been pastors who are emerging kingdom leaders, leaders of leaders, leaders with potential rather than potential leaders. We now work with...

Our intake will always dictate our outflow.
It has been one week since the Boston Marathon. During the year, the theme of 'Boston Strong,' could be seen everywhere on posters, attitudes and even by the beards of the 2013 World Series Champion Boston Red Sox players! This year the
26.2 mile race was run without incident with...

One of A2’s key characteristics is “vibrant community.” Joe and I were able to experience exactly that at the 2014 Leaders Summit in Malaysia earlier this month. It was a blessing getting to spend 3 days with the country leaders and their wives, resource coordinators and some of the A3 staff. Spending time in worship each morning with believers from a dozen countries was a taste of what heaven will be like when people from every tongue and tribe and nation will praise the Lord, singing “To him who sits on the throne and to the...
Today marks the 3rd Anniversary of Great NE Japan Disaster
It’s been three arduous years since the triple disaster of 3.11.11. Here are several sign posts from A3 on the road following this horrific experience, ranging from reports to reflections...
Asian cultures are gracious and self-effacing…even to a fault. I ran into an example of this on a recent trip to Asia.
I was meeting with the National Director and Leadership Committee of a restricted-access country to explore the idea of faculty development. A2’s vision is to raise up an ever-increasing number of qualified leaders from within our member countries, to teach A3 both at home and throughout Asia.
This country is beginning its second decade of A3 ministry, now training its fourth batch of “students”. Actually, we don’t use the word students for our participants. They are leaders—...
When you get on the ground in the Third World, you can find tragedy in nearly every nook and cranny—and also God’s care at work, through the kindness of His people.
We saw this up close on a recent visit to an A3 session in what we call a restricted-access country (which is why I’m supplying no names or location). After the A3 session concluded, Pastor “Joseph” took Kyle and me on a sightseeing and people-meeting time in the area. One of the stops we made was to his church; there, we met a family from a nearby Muslim-majority country. Muhammad, his wife Ilya, and their 7-year-old son Ishmael (not their real names) shared a chilling testimony...

I asked the leader of A3 in a restricted-access country, “What attracted you to A3?"
2013 has been an amazing year.
For Kyle and me, it has been an amazing first year to be part of what God is doing throughout Asia through the leader-development work of A3. But rather than writing about us, I'd like to focus on some amazing breakthroughs we have seen this past year in our restricted-access countries.
Restricted Access means countries where religious freedom to practice and share the Christian faith, is opposed, restricted, or flat-out forbidden. Despite these obstacles, ...
