"You can sense the energy and optimism of a ministry by visiting its website and meeting the key leaders. But…to know the heart and heartbeat of the ministry, get acquainted with their board members. As the board goes, so goes the ministry. So I’m delighted to say—based on up-close and personal observations and interactions—I know that A3 is led by God-honoring board members who care deeply about the Gospel and the Great Commission. And as stewards of the ministry, the board ensures that A3 continues to meet or exceed the rigorous accreditation, integrity, and transparency requirements of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA)."

"Just as Leadership Network focuses on developing leaders in North America, A3 focus on developing leaders in the emerging Asian context is vital for the future of Christianity. A3 is a timely ministry in this critical day when we are all looking to build closer relationships with believers in Asia. I commend their ministry to you."

"One of the joys of aging is the opportunity to reflect on the work of God throughout the world. My first knowledge of the work of A3 came vicariously through a professor at Fuller talking about Scrum Dendo in Japan over thirty years ago. In the two decades that followed I had the chance to work with various people and ministries of A3, building my confidence in the deep work that God was doing in and through the organization. For the past decade it has been a joy to closely watch the work flourish and develop. I respect the work of A3 and rejoice in this wonderful historical milestone. Congratulations on a job well done!!"

"There are plenty of ministries to help Christian leaders develop their skills. What sets A3 apart is a focus on the transformation of a leader’s soul. A3 holds an integrated vision of life and leadership that refuses to separate a person’s calling in the world from his or her communion with Christ. By targeting this deeper level of existence, A3 equips leaders with a new vision of faithfulness and not merely new tools of effectiveness."

"For A3 the words 'cultural sensitivity' do not denote a slogan, but a lifestyle. Without ever minimizing or compromising the good news we all proclaim, they have made it accessible, available, and understandable to millions. This is a work for which I am grateful and truly privileged to endorse."

"Praise God for the gifts he's given A3 through its fifty years of faithfulness: the gifts of relationships, respect, wisdom and understanding that cross bridges, opens doors and welcomes people into the family of God."

"A3.business comes alongside men and women who are well positioned in the marketplace to change and influence their society and culture. They are movers and shakers on one hand and seekers and humble servants on the other. The fact that they are already in positions of leadership makes the A3.business experience immediately useful to everyone and encourages them to go onto great things together."
