The Road to True Success: A New Compass for Marketplace Leaders in SE Asia

by ELLIOTT SNUGGS

In the bustling economic hubs of Southeast Asia, the definition of "success" is often written in profit margins, market share, and rapid expansion. However, a recent gathering of A3.business, marketplace leaders explored a different map—one titled “The Road to True Success” by Dr. Suparno Adijanto. Suparno, a business leader in Indonesia, brought a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to Jesus to this cohort in a country in SE Asia.

Reimagining Leadership and Influence in Ecuador

Our fourth A3.business session in Ecuador marked a historic milestone for the movement: it was the first A3.business gathering conducted entirely in Spanish.

A3.business launches in Taiwan and a new language

A3.business has just launched our first cohort in the nation of Taiwan. Orientation was held just recently for about 15 men and women from the marketplace.

Starting in a new country for A3 is more challenging because the leaders have never seen what A3 does and don't have people they know who have been a part of one of our deep learning communities. But, the participants in this orientation were perhaps the most senior-level group as a whole we have worked with in any country. They are owners and c-suite leaders of major companies with years of experience.

Still, at the end of the orientation, we heard the same response we so often hear in every country we enter...

"This is exactly what we need."

Sharing with the group in Taiwan were three marketplace believers from the United States:

• Emmanuel Fan shared about connection and discipleship, how to have transformative relationships and reproduce leaders in the marketplace.
• Jonathan Cheng shared about leadership with integrity, especially how to choose who you invest in based on values.
• Also sharing was Will Nicklas who used his own experience as an executive with Toyota to talk about being Christlike leaders.

This is our first Mandarin-speaking cohort. Mandarin is the second most spoken language after English, according to a top language learning service, Berlitz.

Session 1 will be in November 2024, so you can be praying about this first cohort launch. We will report on how things are proceeding in this new country.

At A3.business we are excited about connecting marketplace leaders in vibrant communities that can help break down the sacred/secular divide with the transforming message of Jesus Christ. Our process is centered around the belief that a Spirit-led community can change the culture of an entire nation—virtually anything—toward Christ's purposes.
