When the bombs started flying over the Persian Gulf, I started receiving messages that were hard to fully comprehend.
Hi Friends! This year, A3 has experienced remarkable progress across many areas, and I am thrilled to see how God has blessed our efforts. And recently, I have been especially inspired by a generous friend who has offered to champion A3 with a matching grant this season.
What do these 3 situations have in common?
India (MNN) — Refugees or illegal immigrants? India’s Supreme Court will soon rule on which category the Rohingya of Myanmar fall into.
Nepal (MNN) — Seventeen U.S. citizens and one citizen from India were detained in Nepal in early February. The accusation? Attempting to convert people to Christianity. The group was in Nepal with 15-day tourist visas and participated in a construction project on a local church. Authorities confiscated their documents for further investigation of the allegations.
Algeria (MNN) — On Tuesday, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom released a report with troubling news: Only one church remains in Algeria. It’s a stark reminder of the increasing persecution of Algerian Christians.

"Come over to Macedonia and help us."

Like the Apostle Paul’s call to Macedonia, A3 recently felt a nudge to work in Europe.
Heading into 2024 I’m more optimistic than I’ve been in years. We are post-pandemic, coming out of a remarkable year of progress for A3 (see Memorable Year and Family update). We thank God for his faithfulness in sustaining us.
Now, we are looking toward what God has in store for us in the coming year.
A3 President Joe Handley was recently interviewed by Chuck Reich of Overcomers.TV.

Algeria (MNN) — Ramadan started last Wednesday for Muslims around the world. In countries like Algeria where Islam is the state religion, Ramadan is strictly observed. Muslims must fast in the daytime as they seek Allah’s favor. And even non-Muslims during Ramadan are forbidden by law from eating and drinking during the day in public.
Algeria (MNN) — Persecution escalates in Algeria. Local believers tell Asian Access, or A3, that the government is closing more churches and targeting Christian leaders.
South Asia (MNN) — The Church in South Asia faces increasing pressure from religious majority groups in various countries.
