Inspiring attitude despite eight pastors imprisoned.
A2's Noel Becchetti learned from Asian leaders there is a new wave of persecution in their country. When he offered to pray for them, he was surprised to hear the leaders say: "Pray that we would be bold and stay bold as we face this new time of struggle."

You'll be surprised to hear the answer!
Noel Becchetti of Asian Access asked an A2 national church leader how he accounted for the phenomenal growth of the church in his country, where it's grown from a couple hundred leaders to now nearly 2 million in about 25 years. The leader gave two clear reasons that you would not have guessed.

USA (MNN) — When you’re at a missions conference, you’re bound to run into someone you know. That’s what keeps happening at the Missio Nexus Leadership Conference in Atlanta, Georgia.
Many MNN friends are here: InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, The Mission Society, Asian Access, Living Water International, World Mission, to...
The spring 2014 issue of Leadership Journal had a powerful article by J.R. Briggs, Transforming Failure: How God used a painful season of ministry to change my life.
The article posts these difficult statistics about the tough calling that pastors have today..
It is a nearly unbearable feeling reading about brothers and sisters around the world who are being persecuted for their faith and feeling helpless in knowing how to respond.

Asia (A2/MNN) — Persecution is alive and well in Asia.
It’s easy to forget when visiting a country and reveling in its exotic beauty. Asian Access’ national leaders are gracious and, says A2′s vice president for leader development, Noel Becchetti, “I am often lulled into complacency as I visit with our A2 participants...
Many of our friends in Asia serve as pastors and national leaders while facing harassment, oppression, and outright persecution. They persevere with amazing courage as, in the words of a Western colleague, “They feel that suffering is part of their calling.” By coming alongside these choice leaders who serve Christ on the front lines, we can encourage and equip them to weather the deep challenges they face. Will you join us in supporting a persecuted pastor?
This fact sometimes escapes me as I travel in the region. Our A2 national leaders are so gracious that I am often lulled into complacency as I visit with our A2 participants and hear about what God is doing in their area.
I’ve been jarred out of that complacency by some recent flareups of what is in fact simmering at all times…fear and resentment of the growth of the Church in what have historically been Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, and/or animistic cultures—or countries where one-party dictatorship has replaced any semblance of representative government.
