Just Some Interesting Things on a Monday Morning

No particular order, no particular agenda. We have a conference call every Monday morning with all the Regional Directors across Canada, along with some Alpha HQ staff. So - a couple of interesting items from this morning.

One RD spoke of a church young adults' group where a number of non-believers are regular members. The leader asked one of them, a particular, "argumentative atheist," as the fellow himself termed himself, "Why do you keep coming out to our group?" His Answer? "I can't believe how people so awesome could believe something so stupid." It's all in the relationship. Just keep working, Holy Spirit.

Another story was of a church in a small rural village, population 750. They have been running two Alpha's a year for three or four years. At their latest Alpha introductory supper they had 50 people. Fifty guest after running two Alpha's a year for three or four years?! In a rural village with a population of 750?! Asked about it, the coordinator said, "We have a population of 750 and we're not stopping until we have led each one of them to Christ." Praise God!

I had lunch today with  my friend Jeff who left a major Edmonton church a year ago to seek the Lord's will for his life. Reluctantly, he felt he was led to plant a church here in town. Almost exactly a year ago they started with 5 people. Last Sunday, they moved into a new space in the old Provincial Museum with 120.

Such an encouraging morning! God is on the move! His glory train is rolling. Climb aboard.

If you already are, help somebody else on. Invite them to an Alpha.


Blessings,

John

Anglican Diocese of Athabasca Synod - Peace River Alberta  Friday Oct 13 I drove 5 hours to Peace River to make a presentation at the Synod of the Anglican Diocese of Athabasca. Bishop Fraser Lawton would love to see as many of his parishes as possible running Alphas. Many of the delegates are actually familiar with Alpha, although, having run it often in the moderately distant past, may not be so familiar with all of our new materials. So Friday evening's dinner was turned into a model Alpha supper, including jokes and the showing of the invitational first video of the relatively recent Alpha Film Series. This version is hosted by Toby and Gemma, a hip young pair of presenters, and targeted at the Millennial generation, the 18 - 35-year-olds. I always say that baby boomers like it too because they too like to pretend they can still be young and hip. Between Friday evening and Saturday morning I met many great people and found quite a bit of enthusiasm for Alpha. If all comes ...

Because, as the title of this blog indicates, this is a diary, it will not always contain great theological or philosophical revelations. Sometimes it will be just what a diary is - a record of my thoughts and/or activities. I have set myself a bit of a busy schedule over the next two weeks, but that's the whole point, isn't it. Even though this is my retirement career, I still treat it as a full-time job. Basically, I do my best to devote 9-5, five days a week to my Alpha duties, and Saturday and Sunday are never ruled out if Alpha stuff needs attention. So... my schedule as it stands so far for the next couple of weeks includes two presentations at St Paul's Anglican Church in Edmonton this Sunday, trips to Westlock and Morinville, AB, a Pastors' lunch presentation in Whitecourt and visits to churches in Provost, Wainwright and Lloydminster. One thing I like to do wherever I go is check out a bit of each town's history and sources of local pride. Many Alberta comm...

On the Road Again

I'm in Grande Prairie this week, ostensibly to attend  a dance competition where my daughter, Jen's dance studio is competing, and doing very well, if I may say so with a bit of fatherly pride. However, as I do not yet have a travel budget, I stole the opportunity to make calls on the churches in town, with some very encouraging results. I have previously visited most of them during my time with Alpha, so this was a matter of renewing relationships and re-introducing myself in my new capacity with Christianity Explored . Most calls just involved friendly conversation and ministry updates. I have also told all my churches that I am happy to encourage them with Alpha as well, so I shared the joy of what is probably the main Grande Prairie Alpha church, over the number of new believers coming to faith through their Alphas. Then, however, without my having even mentioned it, he produced material on a new discipleship program they are considering - Discipleship Explored - ...
