3 Episodes
3 Weeks
Through Biblical teaching from leading Christian voices and real stories of invitation, each session explores what it means to live out God’s call to share our lives and our faith with friends, colleagues and neighbours.
It has been designed to spark conversation, prayer and action leading up to an Alpha launch or a moment of invitation in your church (e.g. Christmas/Easter services).
