The Alpha Retreat with the Holy Spirit sessions is all about getting away from the busyness of everyday life so people can connect with each other and connect with God. It’s the part of Alpha that many people say was the turning point in their Alpha experience. We consistently see hearts more open to Jesus and lives changed. And that’s why we do it.
This training session will give you all the tools you’ll need to pray with and for the guests on the Alpha and how to run your best Alpha Retreat ever.
