Alpha

Here are what some guests have to say about the Alpha Course they attended during the Alpha Invitation 2010:

"The Alpha Course has been a blessing to me because I saw my sister Lily being ministered to by Corren Toh (our leader), who was vivacious and bubbly and caring. She reached out to my sister who has just lost her husband. Together with Lucy (our helper), they demonstrated such Christian love to Lily that she got out of her grief and resolved to live the rest of her life for Jesus!"

Ow Liyen, Bethesda (Bedok-Tampines) Church

"The Alpha Course has been a blessing to me because I was so touched and ministered by the Holy Spirit where I experienced tears of love, joy and peace."

Lilian Chia, Bethesda (Bedok-Tampines) Church

“Alpha was not a journey I had planned on taking. I signed my husband up, thinking that he being unsure about Christianity despite being a baptised Catholic, needed it. In the end, God showed me how He makes all things new. I ended up joining the Alpha Course, growing in my relationships with God and with my husband. In turn, my husband, whom I doubted would make it past the first few weeks, attended almost all the sessions. Through the grace of God, he is now on a journey of rediscovery of his faith and I myself have a renewed awareness of the Holy Spirit working in us. A big thank you to the Alpha facilitators through whom the Holy Spirit has been working - their kindness, patience and constant prayer has brought back some of His lost sheep.”

Hsin Li Chia, Church of St Ignatius

"My perspective of life has been changed completely, I have found the peace of God within me."

Florine, Malaysia

"Alpha really gave a full view of what the Christian faith is all about. It gave me the foundation of who is God, who is Jesus, why Christianity, how to read the bible, and how to pray."

Annie, Malaysia

"I was quite cynical...but it was brilliant to be able to question openly in a supportive atmosphere."

Jan, United Kingdom

"If you want a no-holes-barred, open and honest discussion, you can bring all the questions and things that annoy you about anything to do with Christianity or religion to Alpha. You ask it, listen to what has got to be said and then make a decision. If you never ask the questions you'll never get any answers, and if you never give it a go you'll never know whether it was right or wrong, good or bad.'

Scott, United Kingdom

"I was taught that God was distant. I though that God's approval depended on my ability to be perfect. Now I am confident that God loves me in all ways. He walks closely with me and He hasn't finished with me yet."

Joyce, Canada
