Western Connecticut team runs for the Alpha ministry

On May 15th 14 participants from 2 churches, under the leadership of Linley Ruoss, Regional Director for Alpha Western Connecticut entered the Shad Derby Road Race in Windsor to raise awareness and financial support for the Alpha ministry.  The Lord was gracious and provided a gloriously sunny day for this 2.5k event.  Two participants, one from Calvary Presbyterian and the other from First Church in Westhersfield  even won medals!

Spanish Speakers,Taste of Alpha

On April 17th Pastor Eladio Alvarez from the Iglesia Bautista Vida Abundante hosted a Taste of Alpha.  Jose Garrigo, director of Alpha for Latinos led the event.  There were both Spanish and Portuguese speakers.  the guests included representatives from Puerto Rico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Brazil and the Dominican Republic.  It was a good time of sharing and presenting a different paradigm for evangelization: presenting the gospel openly and yet conversationally  without pressure.  There was a great response from those attending and it is expected that this will be a beginning for Alpha among Spanish and Portuguese churches in New England.
