This is my second year helping out in Alpha. I served as a helper and facilitator for group discussions this time. It was a fulfilling time and experience to serve God and others in this way.
The Guests
We have guests who are very quiet as well as those who are very open to sharing their own experiences in their faith journey. I remember a gentleman who struggled in his relationship with God, feeling that God is a distant God that did not care, especially growing up under difficult circumstances. But as the weeks went on, he became more open and even shared how, looking back after many years, God came through for him in such a timely manner.
Another lady who struggled with many years of anxiety when talking to people shared how, after praying for peace, she was able to calmly attend each of her three interviews.
The Team
It was amazing to see the camaraderie among the helpers, especially from an intergenerational perspective. We have people from their 20s all the way up to their 70s working together as a team!
Personal
This was a personal journey for me, as we heard the experiences of our guests and watching the Alpha videos. God spoke to me in ways that were different from a year before. My faith was challenged and strengthened.
Invitation
I would invite everyone to come and serve God and guests, experience the camaraderie and be a part of this amazing ministry that God is using. This is truly one of those opportunities where we can reach out to non-believers and directly interact with them about faith matters.
