Thou didst leave Thy throne
And Thy kingly crown,
When Thou camest to earth for me . . .
"I love Christmas. I think that being in Japan at Christmastime helps me understand what Jesus coming here was like."
As the Advent season began one year ago I found myself in a six-bed room on the cancer ward of a Japanese public hospital. From my human perspective as a person who had enjoyed a previously healthy, hospital-free seventy years of life, it was an unlikely, unexpected, unwanted, unpleasant, unanticipated venue.
Advent Has ComeFollowing a tremendous time of thanksgiving for God's blessings, the Advent season is upon us once again (Sunday, Dec. 3 – Sunday, Dec 24, 2023).
A3 President Joe Handley was recently interviewed by Chuck Reich of Overcomers.TV.
I’ve been home since Sunday, but find myself thinking often about my short time in Dhaka. It was such a blessing getting to know the women in the cohort. Two-and-a-half days wasn’t near enough time to connect with each person deeply, but I was able to greet each one and pass along your love and prayers.

‘I’m sorry to bring bad news, Joe. Ron has suffered a stroke.’ Ron McMahon, chairman of A3 (formerly known as the Asian Access), was in his early sixties. While Ron survived the stroke, it clearly took much of his active life away.

I became a pastor in 2003 and took over a church planted by missionaries. Ever since, I have been blessed to preach the gospel together with missionaries. Since 2011, I have served as the National Director of the mission organization アジアン・アク セス・ジャパン (Asian Access Japan). This has allowed me to collaborate with local churches in various places in Japan by sending missionaries to them.
BY EDMUND CHAN
We need a critical paradigm shift in missions today. It’s not a new paradigm. It’s simply a neglected one.
Get this. Missions is not the 'special call ' for a few ‘spiritual commandos’ in the church. Rather, missions is the redemptive purpose of God for EVERY believer.
