Ministry in the marketplace
A3.business trains leaders to work in the marketplace
“This model of developing pastoral leaders through a cohort program has been very successful in developing Christlike leaders who have a vision to reach their cities and transform their communities,” said Brother Jake. “With this being so successful, A3 came up with the idea that the same program could be run for business leaders as well, and that’s how A3.business has come about.

"A3.business comes alongside men and women who are well positioned in the marketplace to change and influence their society and culture. They are movers and shakers on one hand and seekers and humble servants on the other. The fact that they are already in positions of leadership makes the A3.business experience immediately useful to everyone and encourages them to go onto great things together."

Recently A3 held its fourth session for A3.business leaders in South Asia.

On site with us in South Asia was Edwin Keh. Edwin was the COO and Senior Vice President of Walmart Global Procurement. Alongside him via video was Mike Duke who served as the CEO of Walmart.

The Secret Sauce of A2?
Some time ago I was asked about the secret sauce of A2… I’ve written previously about this on other blogs: Continue readingOne Belt, One Road… Implications for Mission
Not long ago I was in Hong Kong and the talk of the town was China’s One Belt, One Road plan to catalyze business ventures across Asia and into Europe.
For those of you never hearing of the idea, check out this interview by McKinsey & Company: China’s One Belt, One Road: Will it reshape global trade?
It’s certainly a breathtaking economic initiative and many wonder if it’ll come to fruition because of the massive infrastructure costs it will take to pull everything together. One thing we can say, China is ambitious!

David Dayalan, from A3.business/India shared a devotional highlighting letting Jesus take the lead with our board of directors. I thought you might enjoy seeing a taste of what we spend our time doing in seeking to prepare Christ-like leaders… You’ll quickly see that it’s not about us being leaders. It’s really about us being followers!
Why did Jesus lead the way he did?

What a thrill to be part of a new venture with A2: A3.business!
A few weeks ago we graduated our first group of business leaders in South Korea and last weekend, we launched the first group in South Asia.
The quintessential message of this venture is a focus on God verses Self. As Daniel Fong, Founder and Teacher of Million Dollar Baby, suggested:

"Joe, I cherish A3. It helped to save my marriage."
A Heartfelt Endorsement from a Changed Life
"Joe, I cherish A3." The woman speaking these words is the wife of a key national leader in a country, which, for security reasons, I can’t identify. I have had the privilege of knowing “Linda” (not her real name) and her husband for many years. While I was of course very grateful for her affirmation, I wanted to know more. “Linda, what has made A3 so precious to you?” Continue readingWhen the wonder of the Good News makes all else go silent
That’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown!
— Linus van Pelt
If you are like me, you grew with the tradition of watching A Charlie Brown Christmas during Christmas season—that, along with Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and It’s a Wonderful Life. I loved those shows and couldn’t wait to watch them when December came around.

In God’s kingdom our work becomes a manifestation of his love for the world.
— Skye Jethani
I was inspired by this recent quote from my friend Skye Jethani. If you don’t read his devotionals, they are fantastic. This one is linked here. They are not free but very affordable!

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING...
""There are plenty of ministries to help Christian leaders develop their skills. What sets A3.business apart is a focus on the transformation of a leader’s soul. A3 holds an integrated vision of life and leadership that refuses to separate a person’s calling in the world from his or her communion with Christ. By targeting this deeper level of existence, A3.business equips leaders with a new vision of faithfulness and not merely new tools of effectiveness.""
