How can we access good testimonies?

We are planning our first course and we do not have any testimonies yet. What can we do to promote the course?  Is there a way to access good Alpha stories?


Great question. Allowing people to hear life changing testimonies is really important to help them see the fruit of the Alpha course. Here are a few options for you to consider:

1.   Do you know of another church in your area running a course?  Contact them and see if they would have anyone to come and share their story. 

2.  If you don't know of another church running the course in your area, contact an Alpha Advisor or Regional Director to direct you to a pastor in your area who could direct you to someone.

3.  If doing a live testimony, prepare them in advance for how long you want them to talk.  Most testimonies are around 3 minutes if shared at a Sunday service. Keeping control of the microphone and asking them, "What was your life like before going on the Alpha course?"; " What happened on the course?"; and "What is your life like now?" are generally a good place to start.  Just coach them to keep their answers short, and to speak from their hearts, not from prepared notes.

4. Another source of testimonies can be found on the Alpha USA website. Here you can read or watch people share their stories.  This may be a good source of encouragement when you begin to train your Alpha team.   

5.  Do you have an Alpha story you would like to share with us?  Please let us know.
