Alpha

"In my opinion Alpha accomplishes an incredible task, in making people interested in faith and in making faith relevant to the modern man. I especially appreciate the ecumenical spirit of the Alpha course: There is no pressure on anybody to join a different denomination, but just to join Jesus and to put Jesus at the centre.”

Father Raniero Cantalamessa

Preacher to the Papal House

"I have met many unlikely people from different backgrounds who have been profoundly changed through attending this course.”

"Alpha opens the door... for the sharing, caring, praying community which is exemplary of the church in action.”

Dr. Desmond Tutu

Rev David Yonggi Cho
