A3 is moving to a new donor platform called Virtuous! Our existing donor platform has been shut down for a few days to prepare for the new platform launching on Monday, March 27, 2023. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Existing donor information will be transferred. However, for security reasons, banking and credit card data will not be brought over. Therefore, if you have a recurring donation to A3 (via direct debit or credit card), you will need to re-establish your recurring donation on the Virtuous platform starting in April 2023.
Certain donors will be impacted immediately. If you are in the impacted group that is migrating in April, you should receive an email on March 21, 2023 and a hard copy letter a few days later with additional action steps. If you did get this communication, . . .
Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience. We value your data and have determined it is more secure not to transfer your banking or credit card information during the migration.
Furthermore, we are confident that the new online donation platform will provide a better donor/partner experience compared to our old online platform. In addition, we will save quite a bit by making this switch. Thank you for your understanding. We appreciate your partnership!
I want to share some important updates about our name and upcoming changes for donors...

“I’m amazed at the relationships you have with your predecessors, Joe.”
Praise God, Friends!
“Hello Brother Joe, Thank you for your prayer for our evangelistic event.
For the two nights (March 4th and 5th), about 42,000 people came. About more than 4,500 people opened their hearts to accept Jesus Christ. Praise God!”

On this International Women's Day, we celebrate the voices of these valued members of our A3 Community. We are so fortunate to know and work with these tremendous people and many others like them.
MENA (MNN) — A3 (formerly Asian Access) is comfortable in many parts of Asia. The organization has built consistent and effective systems for discipleship and leadership training there. And those systems are exactly what drew the attention of Phil Butler, a Christian leader in the Middle East.
Algeria (MNN) — Persecution escalates in Algeria. Local believers tell Asian Access, or A3, that the government is closing more churches and targeting Christian leaders.
International (A3) — Asian Access, known widely as A2, is expanding its ministry into some of the most dangerous and volatile parts of the world.

Friends of Asian Access,
I am thrilled to announce today that Asian Access has a new name. I have been waiting a long time to tell you, and I have simply been bursting to get this out there!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Ministry steps into the most difficult areas of the world to support leaders in need.
GMT 12:01:00 — FEBRUARY 3, 2023 – CERRITOS CA — Asian Access, known widely as A2, is expanding its ministry into some of the most dangerous and volatile parts of the world. For over half a century, Asian Access has catalyzed Christian movements in Asia, and now, leaders are calling for this important work in the Middle East and North Africa. So, the organization is boldly stepping in with its proven process that has changed the fabric of the church and transformed communities throughout the Asian continent.
February 3 (2.3.23) is the day we have targeted to share the news of the ministry's expansion which is also driving the moment for a new name for the organization. I think you'll agree it's a wonderful connection to the past and a bridge to the next era of ministry to which we're called. Stay tuned for this exciting news!
Middle East (MNN) — When you see “Asian Access” you probably don’t think of the Middle East. But last year, the Lord led A3 to this region so they could help new believers become effective leaders.
So how do we face this New Year with all its challenges and difficulties like war, pandemic, and recession?
For most, 2022 has seen some return to pre-pandemic activity. We're not quite back completely, but we are definitely seeing glimmers. We have even been able to expand into new regions.
