IMPACT STORIES

The newest group of graduates to the A3 family inspired me as they shared the impact of the last two and half years...

"I especially want to thank A3 for standing with me at this hard time. My A3 friends helped me greatly during this trial...

When I first interviewed with A3 over six years ago, I told the board, “This is one of the best kept secrets in mission today.” Why? Because I was in cross-cultural mission leadership for more than 20 years and had no idea of the impact of the mission.

This summer when our Mid-Year Report went out, we had several similar responses: “Joe, I had no idea the impact of A3. Thank you for sending the mid-year report!” I just shared...

Is Bigger Better?

The thinking that you must grow big to make a difference has crept in the church. I have heard several times of evangelical leaders urging pastors to level up so as to grow big churches to transform the nation. Where is this perspective coming from?

A3/India alumnus Dr. Danny Sathyadass shares how A3 impacted him and what lessons he is passing on to others

When I was first invited for A3, I was quite reluctant because I had just finished my MTh (Master of Theology), and I didn't want to go through another course, so to speak. But then I was reassured that it's not a course of lots of reading, but it's something different. So I said, “Okay, fine. If that's what it is, I probably would join in.”

The last few days we've posted a few reports from our recent session in Jakarta for A3/Indonesia. Here's another one from Heny about her A3 experience and what she learned at this session...

CHANGING THE FEW WHO CHANGE THE MANY

A Testimonial Reflection

By DANNY SATHYADASS, A3 ALUMNUS

When I saw Joe Handley’s recent post about the global impact A3 is poised to have, something stirred in me.

Because what I see happening through A3 is not theoretical. It is not branding. It is not institutional expansion. It is something we’ve been living on the ground for years.

Since joining A3 in January of this year, I've been able to attend leader development sessions in a few countries, as well as meet members within the A3 community. One particular highlight for me was A3's Global Leaders Summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

It has been six months since the lockdown began in Manila...

One of the wives of a participant was surprised by the benefit of A3. She has been skeptical and even wasn’t sure the program was all that important for her husband a pastor...

"Can you show me the A3 teaching manual?"

People often ask those of us in A3 what we specifically teach in our program.

"This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples."
John 15:8 

Periodically we try to assess whether we are meeting the mark and being fruitful in our overall ministry thus we try various ways to discern how effective we are. Evaluation is crucial to see if we are on target.
