“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.

I am Thara Cherian from North India. I was a part of our Women In Ministry batch from 2022 to 2023. 

“While we were praying for the new A3 country last night, we felt that God was telling us to bless them.”

This group of graduating pastors inspired me! I spent a week with them in South Asia listening to their stories, hearing their heart...

Hear Ariunbold answer: "What impact has A3 had on your life and ministry?"

I praise and thank the Lord for A3. It's just been so uplifting… it's recharging for us pastors...

Rahul Rao, A3 alumnus, shares how he is reproducing A3 for others

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.

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.

Because what I see happening through A3 is not theoretical. It is not branding. It is not institutional expansion. It is something we’ve been living on the ground for years.

Across South Asia, women are rising with renewed courage, deeper intimacy with Christ, and fresh vision to serve. Through A3’s Women in Ministry (WIM) cohorts, women leaders in East and Southeast Asia are being formed in six vital areas: Spiritual Formation, Intimacy with Christ, Inner Healing, Life Journey with Spiritual Gifts, Leadership, and Missions.

CHANGING THE FEW WHO CHANGE THE MANY

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.”

Being in this South Asian country this week has truly inspired me. Alumni caught the vision for community and living in a love relationship with God...

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.

BY JANICE MUNEMITSU

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.

Here's a powerful testimony from one of our leaders sharing the impact of the program on their country. The story is so compelling that we wanted you to be able to watch or listen...

Ariunbold has vision like I’ve rarely seen. It’s a God-given vision, passion, and gift mix...

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?”
