Before Alpha I was really a lost teen, confused about the world and trying to find my place in it. I wasn't a big believer in God. The only reason I believed in Heaven was so that I could think of a place where my grandfather went after he passed away. Alpha helped me...it gave me a second family; a family that will now help me through any problems I face. They are always there for me. It gave me a place where I felt like I belonged and where I would always have someone to talk to.
Worship was a huge part of Alpha for me. Some of my most treasured memories of Alpha come from my group standing in a line, arms over each others shoulders and singing our hearts out in praise to The Lord. Even now whenever I am feeling down I sing a few songs to The Lord and I am as happy as can be. Now I can honestly say that I believe in God Almighty - Darren Chowles
