I just finished a few days with leaders from all over the world here in Asia for a consultation about the Church in this region. During the consultation, I was asked to serve on a panel for a “Dialogue on Partnership in Leadership Development.”
Little did I know that an A3 graduate was in the audience and half way through the discussion, he stood up and said, “A3 is the best leadership development ministry I’ve seen in our country! This is because they work through the local churches and local pastors.”
He went on to share how A3 was instrumental in bonding the leading pastors from his city and how they formed a monthly prayer meeting which has truly built a solid community of pastors for the country. He then told the group how the A3 network was key for gathering the 250 delegates that will be attending the historic Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization in Cape Town this October www.lausanne.org.
Later, another key leader for the country (the closing speaker for the conference) re-affirmed the very same ideas. What a humbling experience... To know that Jesus is using A3 in such an instrumental manner.
Lord, may we be your servants, “To see a vibrant community of servant leaders with vision, character and competence leading the church across Asia."
For His Kingdom,
