The Billy Graham Center at Wheaton College is doing a series of one-on-one interviews with a global leader. On its website, they write:
God has raised up a host of creative, passionate individuals who are leading the Church in evangelism and missions. Here we invite you to get to know some of them.
And they have interviewed Joe Handley, president of A3. Here are some highlights:
Joseph W. Handley, Jr. is president of A3. Joe was born and raised in Southern California and attended Azusa Pacific University, where he earned a BA in psychology. He spent nine years working at APU, where he founded and directed the Office of World Missions and directed one of the first multi-national high school mission congresses, Conquest ‘96. During his time at APU, both Joe and his wife, Silk, were earned their MAs. In 1998, the Lord called them to Rolling Hills Covenant Church, where Joe served as global (and lead) outreach pastor. In June 2008, Joe answered the call of God to become president of A3.
