The story
C3 was shaped for the whole Asia Area. It adapts the theology and work of Bishop Alan’s Community of Three Friends, draws on Better Together, a theology of interdependence used area-wide in FMC Asia, and carries forward the Prayer for One Million.
C3 adapts the theology and work of Bishop Alan’s Community of Three Friends (C3F). The three marks, Finding Your Three, the six-week launch and the covenant build on it, contextualized for churches in every country of the Asia Area. He sums up its spirit as L.I.F.E.: Living In Friendship that Evangelizes.
AD Eric’s doctoral research at Fuller Theological Seminary produced the Better Together framework of biblical interdependence, now applied area-wide in FMC Asia. Its conviction runs through C3: each member contributes, each member receives, none is sufficient alone.
The Prayer for One Million was launched at BTC’25. C3 is the next step: from praying for the million to befriending them, one empty chair at a time.
November 7 to 10, 2026. C3 is offered as one new way to make disciples: an invitation, not a mandate.
