For nearly 25 years, I have had the privilege of journeying alongside A3 in India. Reflecting on these years, I see a clear theme: God has faithfully used this movement to call Christian leaders back to what matters most—our intimacy with Him, our families, and our integrity.

"Can you show me the A3 teaching manual?"

People often ask those of us in A3 what we specifically teach in our program.

I asked the leader of A3 in a restricted-access country, “What attracted you to A3?"

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.”

Mary Jo Wilson shares why she is proud that A3 applies its four outcomes to women leaders...

A3.Women In Ministry Participant in India

I'm Carol Christopher from Hyderabad, India.

My husband is an alumnus of A3. Each time he came home from A3 programs, he used to share with us the life transformation stories. Then I remember thinking, “Why don't we get this opportunity? Why only men?”

CEO, A3

Graduations are always liminal moments. Something has ended, yet something new is beginning. But in places like Middle Asia, that threshold carries unusual weight.

When I think about what A3 has meant for Mongolia, three words come to mind: community, relationships, and entrepreneurial spirit. These are not just ideas; they are lived realities that have shaped our ministry and the church in my nation.

By APORNA SARKAR
A3.Women In Ministry Participant in Bangladesh

Shalom!

I praise God for this wonderful opportunity as I am sharing how A3 impacted and shaped my life and how it has helped me to discover the purpose of my life.

Charya’s bones were crooked, he was missing an eye, he could barely walk. He was spiritually convicted during the A3 session as they talked about the apostle Paul being chief among sinners.

By RADY CHAN
A3.Women In Ministry Participant in Cambodia

Hello, my name is Rady. I am a part of A3.Women In Ministry in Cambodia.

WIM in Cambodia has helped me a lot, especially because here in Cambodia, 75 to 80% of the church congregation are women.

These two pastors pulled me aside to personally thank me for the investment of A3.

“I thank God for this A3 family whom I can lean on. My learning experience made a difference in my life, family, and ministry now. Long live A3! Indeed A3 is truly life-transforming.

Here in Jakarta, Indonesia, we've just finished up a session with the A3 cohort. It's our second session, and I just wanted to share about how wonderful it was to just be with all these pastors—men and women of different ages, different levels of experience, but what a great community they're building.

Pastor Ariunbold of Mongolia expanded his vision tremendously through A3...
