A few weeks ago, I met Ken, the founder of our mission. What an amazing guy! Ken is a passionate follower of Christ who is a catalytic leader in God’s mission.
What struck me more than anything was a story that arose during our conversation. When Ken began the work in Japan over 40 years ago, he asked a Japanese pastor about his vision. The pastor went on in great detail about his vision for multiplying churches around Tokyo. After sharing a good bit of time, the Japanese leader said, "I'm sorry, I've been talking all this time about my vision. Would you please tell me about your vision for the ministry?"
Ken answered: "My vision is to help you fulfill your vision. I'm here to serve you and to help you get where you want to go in ministry."
What a remarkably humble leader!
Today, that same vision remains for those of us serving with A2: Our dream is to come alongside national pastors and leaders throughout 20 countries (right now we’re in 8 of them) and help them in fulfilling the mission God has called them to accomplish. We’re here to serve and in so doing, we believe the Lord is going to do amazing things in His global cause.
