Go Deeper Together: Becoming our Vision, Living out our Mission
The last few years I have sensed the Lord calling us at A3 to go deeper in who we are as we feel called to grow broader across Asia. As we went into our 2015 strategic planning process, my sense is that God wasn't calling us to anything profoundly new, but rather calling us...
