The following testimonies were written by people who have attended previous Alpha courses.
Alpha has made such a difference to my Christian life. I have always felt that I know God and Jesus but there was always that distance between us. I never felt that I understood enough about them and consequently never felt a true Christian. The DVD talks given by Nicky Gumble and the discussion with other group members were so powerful as was the day getting to know the Holy Spirit. As a result Alpha has brought me so much closer to God and Jesus and I feel like I now have a spiritual and prayerful connection with them. I feel like a real Christian!
bunch of strangers, found over the course that the mystic that had been at previous churches we had attended was wiped away. All our questions, outspoken or confrontational, were answered; there wasn’t one question that was ‘ducked’. And one evening there He was, my Father, standing behind me in a quiet but so wonderful way.
My young daughter had asked me to take her to the morning service at SBC. I was amazed by the warm welcome we received and have continued to receive. I even found myself singing along to the hymns on the walk home and also thinking about Ronnie’s sermon during the following week. I needed to find out more about Christianity and Alpha seemed to be the obvious answer. It is a wonderful relaxing way to learn more about Christianity. It is not judgemental and there is absolutely no pressure and not to mention the wonderful meals each week! It has also given me a good base to build upon. I have started to read my Bible and I also try to set aside a time each day to pray and reflect upon my daily actions. I am certainly
thinking more about Jesus and Christianity than I used to do and believe that I have become a better person for it. I realise that I have a lot to learn after so many years living without God in my life but have found many new friends to help me on the way.
