WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT ALPHA
For as long as I can remember, through my childhood, teens, and adult years, I have asked questions. One question I constantly asked myself was "Do I believe in God?" I had no answer and it bothered me...By the end of the third Alpha evening I had come to a few realizations that were truly amazing for me!!! I knew that Jesus died for me and that I would never sit on the fence again. ____ Jill
