QUOTES ABOUT ALPHA TO PONDER:
“It is wonderful to learn that Christianity is not all about rules-but relationships-not a philosophy-but a fantastic person-and that it does relate to our modern lifestyle.”
“In Alpha I have seen healed relationships, marriages restored, dangerous lifestyles overcome. I have seen lives transformed-as mine has been-and have seen people giving their hearts to Jesus Christ. Alpha addresses questions that everyone wants to know, but is afraid to ask.”
“This Good News of Jesus is touching and transforming lives of people who have attended Alpha courses…! “
“The experience our congregation had with Alpha has been profound. People have come to new faith, older Christians have been renewed, and all those involved are wildly enthusiastic about it!”
