I was introduced to Alpha by my priest, Steve Moreo. I remember him requesting that I assist him in running Alpha at our church: Holy Cross Anglican in Soweto. He explained to me that Alpha is a church ministry tool that allows people to explore the meaning of their life and of faith.
I attended an Alpha conference in Soweto and Alpha training. Since then I’ve seen people come to faith, lives changed, and people generally more excited about church through running Alpha – especially Youth Alpha. It’s been six years of running Alpha in Soweto. My own experience has been of seeing God as the seeker, and of me as someone in hiding and lost in my own sin. I now have a renewed faith. I have come to realise how God is like a Father who comes out looking for us, even when we bring Him grief and pain. Linda Mokgatlhe
