What a few weeks I have had! I’ve been in Asia for two weeks, covering three different countries, the first of which included our national directors annual gathering, the second a combined meeting of our international and Japan boards, and the third a visit with my colleagues and friends in another.
My first day back home I went in for what I thought was a routine checkup. As I sat down on the doctor's chair, I quickly learned that this was a schedule for outpatient surgery. Imagine that news while you are fighting jet lag! You can see pictures from my MOH’s treatment surgery below... Continue reading

Listen to Asian Access board member David Kim discuss A2's plan for leader development in the business sector...
"There is an effort to integrate faith and work in a real conscious way, both at the seminary level and the church level." Asian Access is taking a half step—taking what Asian Access has been able to do the last 46 years—taking that methodology in the teaching of leadership development to emerging kingdom leaders outside the typical pastoral track—in this case emerging leaders from the business and professional world with some of the same methodologies, wanting to instill a sense of kingdom leadership in this arena."Continue reading

Wall Street Journal notes great need for leader development in Asia
What is the spiritual need of Asia?
Leadership.
A recent Wall Street Journal article noted the great need for leaders in the church of Asia today. This prompted the team at Nations Be Glad, an affiliate of Dr. John Piper to tweet the following:
Wall Street Journal: The spread of Christianity across China has left churches with a shortage of trained leaders. http://ow.ly/9ckrf
More than 15 years ago, this huge need prompted Asian Access to invest in key leading pastors across the continent of Asia. At that time, estimates were that 150 million Asians would come to Christ over the next 20 years. Asia is home to nearly 65% of the world's population, 85% of those who have yet to follow Christ, and home to all of the world's major religions.

What The’re Saying
"A2.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 A2.business experience immediately useful to everyone and encourages them to go onto great things together."

"A2.business plays an important role in building Christian leaders in the marketplace. Its unique curation of leaders who are both influential in the marketplace and attentive to their calling provides a peer learning experience that leaders will value. I commend the A2 leadership on its commitment to stay increasingly relevant as a training ground in a rapidly changing world."

"There are plenty of ministries to help Christian leaders develop their skills. What sets A2.business apart is a focus on the transformation of a leader’s soul. A2 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, A2.business equips leaders with a new vision of faithfulness and not merely new tools of effectiveness."

"One thing largely missing today is leaders with integrity, humility and transparency in all sectors of society. This is why developing leaders is so crucial. I am thrilled that A2 is leveraging its legacy, credibility and experience in training church leaders as it now enters the marketplace arena. A2 is uniquely positioned to train marketplace leaders well, because they understand the pastoral heart—encouraging and equipping them to produce effective leaders, who will in turn transform businesses and communities toward God’s ends. There are over 1200 business leader development models out there, but A2.business is a distinct one aimed at Asia that I can wholeheartedly endorse."
