Church Planter the Rev. Anson Ann has been using Alpha Online for his parish in Richmond, B.C. Archdeacon Paul Charboneau in Oakville is also reporting good results. He is starting his third Alpha and doing it on an interchurch basis with other congregations. The ACNA Bishops meeting in January also reported many parishes finding traction with the program.
Anson reports, "I ran two parallel Alpha Online courses from Nov 2020 - Jan 2021. One with a local group in Richmond and one with a couple in Hong Kong. The great thing about Alpha Online is that it can be run virtually anywhere, at any time, and with anyone. I like the course because it helps to address both the head and the heart. The Alpha videos, aside from teaching core doctrine, include a lot of testimonies from real people and answer many commonly raised questions. Alfred, a new brother in Christ, came to faith through this course. Many of his doubts were cast away as he understood what Jesus did meant for him. Even his wife (who's already a believer) was shocked by how ready he was when we invited him to accept Jesus as his savior. We should never underestimate how the Holy Spirit can work in people's hearts. We are running the course again from this Friday until Easter. May more people come to hear the Gospel of Jesus and put their trust in him."
