GRADUATE TESTIMONIAL FROM A3/PHILIPPINES

Before coming to A3, I was a leader in a liminal space—transitioning from what was to what is about to come. I felt anxious, doubtful, and undeserving of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. But the invitation I heard from God through our first quiet time

A2 Goes on a Digital Spiritual Retreat

There is something hypnotising to be on top to receive recognition and reward. It makes one feel good to be on a place applauded by people in

Ten years ago, Pastor Paul started a church, and for the past three of those ten, he’s been part of Asian Access in a South Asian country. He’s now planted eight churches from that first church plant but he learned something profound the last few years that will impact his ministry for

At Asian Access, we have been affirmed for our ability to identify leaders who are right for our program. We’ve had numerous requests to share what we believe we have learned. So with humility, let me offer a few thoughts on our approach. The Asian Access approach is rooted in a core value: a

A3 recently reviewed our values as a mission. What a fascinating journey and valuable learning experience it was! We spent hours in dialog throughout the movement at every level: volunteers, staff, alumni, faculty, board and reference council.
