Global Alpha Training (GAT) is an initiative to send teams from churches with experience in running Alpha to train leaders in other nations yet to run the course.

Alpha Singapore provides teams with cross-cultural orientation, detailed programs and transcripts for the GAT training event. 

There are identified GAT opportunities in countries throughout the Asia-Pacific region, where your church can send a team to participate in a GAT Event (Alpha matched GAT). Alternatively, if your church already has established relationships through its mission program, Alpha can equip you to train leaders in the Alpha Course as you visit those mission partners (Self Matched GAT).

In the last 10 years 11 million people have attended an Alpha course. God has given Nicky Gumbel a vision to reach 100 million people through Alpha over the next 10 years. To achieve this vision, the growth in the number of Alpha courses around the world needs to accelerate, at the same time ensuring the courses already running continue to develop.

Global Alpha Training (GAT) responds to the challenge by:

Linking up Alpha leaders who have established relationship in countries and nations around the globe who are looking for Alpha training, or groups of Alpha leaders willing to provide the training even if a prior relationship does not exist.

What has been exciting to track is that as the GAT teams return home, they are renewed and energized for Christ, His Church and His Cause, resulting in increased interest to reach their own communities and improve local Alpha courses.
