These last few days I’ve had the privilege of sitting with fellow pastors in Asia preparing for an important gathering coming up in March for our ministry. It was an invigorating experience because we spent a good deal of time on our knees praying for God’s direction and waiting on Him to guide us in the coming years. Our key focus was and is to strengthen our mission by reinforcing “The Essence of A3”. Core to this essence is our “Love Relationship with God” and we prayed...
Asia (MNN) ― The church in Asia is booming. Faced with the population of the region, identifying and targeting key "influencers" is as important as evangelizing them. First Generation believers are coming to the forefront as leaders. However, this generation essentially has no "spiritual fathers." ...
I just finished three stimulating days conversing with several U.S. Church and Mission leaders preparing for the upcoming historic gathering for world evangelization: Cape Town 2010. This event in October will bring together 4000 leaders from more than 200 countries to discuss the significant issues of our day for the life of the global church.
Over the last few days, we have been discussing six critical issues from the perspective of the US Church all preparing for this October when we will gather with others from around the world to grapple with the most important issues facing the world...
Ever since Tuesday, 1/12/10, you may have noticed that I’ve been posting news about my friend, Dan Woolley, a Compassion International staff worker in Haiti who served as a student intern of mine when I worked at Azusa Pacific University.
Dan’s story has captured the hearts of thousands and is an illustration of hope in the midst of catastrophic disaster. If you haven’t heard or seen Dan’s story, you can see part of it here...
Our vision at A3 is “to see a vibrant community of servant leaders with vision, character and competence leading the church across Asia” and it has been encouraging to see the Church rise up in the midst of such devastation in Haiti. While we are committed to Asia, we desire to see this type of servant leadership emerging worldwide as a witness for Christ.
A few of our core values in pursuing this vision are the values of networking,generosity and partnership. To this end, we are part of a larger community of missions committed to reaching the world for Christ by taking the “whole Gospel to the whole world.”
First, we belong to a network of ministries called The Mission Exchange which is working with CrossGlobal-Link to provide a network of resources and information for the disaster in Haiti. To connect with their work, you can learn more at: http://www.haitihub.org/
A3 is also firmly committed to the principle of generosity. Another accountability network we participate in, the ECFA, has setup a few great links to help out with the relief effort in Haiti. If you’re looking for a ministry to help in this effort, the following links should prove useful. These are ministries that have integrity and are run by solid principles developed by the ECFA: Check out these opportunities...
Pray for the people of Haiti and for the Church as it stands up to provide relief, rebuild lives and extend the transforming power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
At the recent A3•Mongolia class 4 graduation, I listened to Pastor Batbold share his appreciation for A3 and the impact it is making in his own life and ministry.
Pastor Batbold graduated from class 2 and is now a "working team" member for A3•Mongolia. He is giving back to this movement from which he has benefitted. And he sees A3 contributing to the Church in Mongolia...
If someone says "missions is about cramming Christianity down other people's throats," how would you respond? Tell us!
Recently, a facebook friend of mine who is a pastor shared a status update about his daughter attending a missionary training program before heading to Asia for a short-term missions assignment.
Most of the comments from his friends were, as you could imagine, extremely positive, optimistic, and prayerful.
Japan (MNN) ― A3 (A3) observes
an important anniversary this month. Their leadership development program in Japan just marked 30 years, and
189 pastors helped to celebrate.

The JCGI Network of A3 hosted its annual conference November 24-26, 2009 with Dr. Robert E. Logan returning to Japan to speak. Grace Community sent a delegation of pastors and lay leaders from Sapporo to hear Dr. Logan; here's a report from A3 staff member Tim Clark on how the church was blessed by the conference.
Since coming home from the A3 JCGI anniversary celebration it's been fun to see the conference's impact unfold at Grace Community, helping this church that already does so well at leader development do even more. Dr. Bob Logan's teaching in ...
