I’ve been reading a lot of news lately… The election has been on my mind a fair amount and most of you know where I stand there. At this point, it’s looking like I’ll be voting for a third party candidate or making a write in vote!
More important than all of that though, is what I’ve been reading about where the world is heading and how we can be strategic influences. All the strategic analyses I’m seeing seem to point in the same direction: Asia is going to be crucial in the coming decades. Just take a look at this collection of graphs I found from places like the Economist Intelligence Unit, the World Economic Forum, etc... Check these out! (Click to enlarge.)

Asia on the Rise
Asia’s influence on the world is critical. That is precisely why we at A3 are wholeheartedly committed to building the capacity of kingdom leaders across this great continent.
Please pray as we seek to come alongside emerging kingdom leaders to help them accelerate in their calling as pastors, business leaders, and servants of Jesus. May they shepherd the Church as followers of Jesus to be the difference makers God wants them to be! I believe they are going to be the heroes in the coming generations of this world!
