This month, A3 took an exciting new step forward as we launched our very first orientation program in Cameroon. What began as a simple gathering for equipping leaders quickly turned into a deeply moving encounter with the Lord — one that is already bearing fruit in the lives of participants.
One participant shared this heartfelt testimony after the training:
“It was indeed planned and scheduled for me in particular. When I returned home, I had another profound encounter with the Lord as I reflected on my first love. It was an eye-opening experience as I read back my notes and cried before the Lord for mercy. All the points raised kept running through my mind, and I am really going back to that place of intimacy with my first love.
I praise God for Dr. Joe and Pastor Jakes. Their visit to Cameroon was meant for me, because I have changed so much and can testify to that. I am very much looking forward to the next session.”
Another encouraging word came from Nona Claire, wife of our translator, who shared on LinkedIn:
“I believe your coming to Cameroon was for me in particular. I am expectant for the next session and the next two years of the program. Shalom.”
These early testimonies remind us why A3 exists: to come alongside leaders in Asia, Africa, and beyond so that they can return to their first love in Christ and lead with renewed vision and faith. They long to Finish Well, something we emphasized throughout our few days together. Already, God is showing us that His Spirit is at work in powerful ways through this new initiative.
We are grateful for all who prayed and invested in this launch. Please continue lifting up the leaders in Cameroon as they begin this two-year journey with A3. We believe God will use these men and women to impact their churches, communities, and nation in profound ways.
Praise God for this new chapter of A3 in Africa!
