A3/India alumnus Dr. Danny Sathyadass shares how A3 impacted him and what lessons he is passing on to others

When I was first invited for A3, I was quite reluctant because I had just finished my MTh (Master of Theology), and I didn't want to go through another course, so to speak. But then I was reassured that it's not a course of lots of reading, but it's something different. So I said, “Okay, fine. If that's what it is, I probably would join in.”

A Testimonial Reflection

By DANNY SATHYADASS, A3 ALUMNUS

When I saw Joe Handley’s recent post about the global impact A3 is poised to have, something stirred in me.

GRADUATE TESTIMONIAL FROM A3/PHILIPPINES

Before coming to A3, I was a leader in a liminal space—transitioning from what was to what is about to come. I felt anxious, doubtful, and undeserving of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

“Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Only let us live up to what we have already attained.”
— Philippians 3:12-16
