“The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective."
—James 5:16 (NIV)

Alpha is birthed in prayer and backed by prayer. It is central and vital to every Alpha. Form a team, and ask them to pray for each guest by name, covering the sessions, your team, and the entire journey in prayer.

“Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labour in vain.”
—Psalm 17:1 (NIV)
