seems especially blessed in that the Lord is using it to reach all sorts
of people in all sorts of spiritual conditions"
Luis
Palau |
 |

stand alongside others who have a similar passion for leading people
into vital relationships with Jesus Christ. We applaud the vision and
work of Alpha Ministry to connect the unconnected to the life of the
local church and to relationship with Jesus Christ."
Bill
Hybels (Senior Pastor) |

Alpha course is a most engaging way of passing on the basics of Christianity.
It is a tool for evangelism and nurture that I highly recommend.”
J.I.
Packer |

“I
know of many people whose lives have been transformed through the Alpha
Course. I rejoice at how God is using it so powerfully to renew many
churches both inside and outside prison walls.”
Charles
W. Colson |
 |
"The
Alpha course is a superb vehicle for seeking and evangelizing non-Christians,
the unchurched and the nominally churched. Would that every Episcopal
Church had an Alpha course for we would be truly embracing the Great
Commission of Jesus our Lord.” The
Rt. Rev. Herbert Thompson, Jr. |
 |
"I
see Alpha as a strategic tool, sensitively crafted to address today's
secularized seekers with satisfying answers to their spiritual hunger."
Jack
W. Hayford |
 |
“It's great to see how Alpha has been used to reach people with the good news of Jesus Christ, who wouldn't normally come to church. This resource is very complementary to helping seekers connect with The Purpose Driven Life.” Dr.
Rick Warren, |
 |
“I
rejoice and give our Lord thanks for the wonderful way He is using the
Alpha ministry throughout the United States and around the world, inviting
friends, family or work colleagues to an Alpha course is an outstanding
way to share the love and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ in a non-threatening
environment.” Paul Cedar, head of Mission America |
 |
"Through
Alpha, Jesus Christ is capturing the hearts and minds of an ever-growing
number of persons. The course meets the vital test of being both open
and faithful -- welcoming of all, while presenting the gospel message
with clarity and power." George
Gallup, Jr. |
 |
"Alpha’s
great success lies in its ability to take evangelism out of the church
into the home and to bridge the gulf between church and community." Archbishop of Canterbury George Carey. http://uk.alphacourse.org |

UK carried the poster featuring the face of Holy Trinity Brompton Children’s

'I
sense the moment has come to commit all of the Church's energies to
a new evangelisation and mission to all nations. No believer in Christ,
no institution of the Church can avoid this supreme duty: to proclaim
Christ to all peoples.' Pope John Paul II http://alphacourse.org |
 |
“The
Alpha Course is a wonderful and proven tool for evangelism in the local
church... I enthusiastically support and recommend Alpha.” C.Peter Wagner Global Harvest Ministries http://alphacourse.org |
 |
“I
believe the Alpha course has been one of the greatest initiatives in
recent times to introduce people to Christianity in an easy-to-understand,
down-to-earth and informal way, I know God changes lives and anything
that can help as many lives to be changed as possible has got to be
good. I believe the Alpha course should be available to everyone.” Rosemary Conley, Fitness Club Pioneer http://alphacourse.org |
 |
“If
it hadn’t been for Christian friends who were sufficiently enthusiastic
about their faith to share it with me and answer my obstinate questions,
I’d never have discovered Christ for myself that was over 30 years
ago. Today, everywhere I go, I hear how Alpha courses are communicating
the Christian faith in relevant and non-threatening situations do go
along if you get the chance. Christianity promises ‘life in all
its fulness’. Just suppose that’s true - what a tragedy to miss out!” Sir Cliff Richard http://alphacourse.org |
 |
"Alpha
is a safe place to thrash out the meaning of life; to discuss what Christianity
really is all about. I'd highly recommend this course for anyone who
wants good food and good conversation." Melanie
Clark Pullen, Actress |
