DWIGHT
My heartfelt thanks go out to every individual who opened their doors and created space at their tables in 2023. Because of you, we have seen a remarkable 850,000 Australians, including over 93,000 this past year alone, take a seat to explore faith. The immediate, eternal and generational impact of your kingdom work cannot be understated. Thank you and praise God!
The unity within the Australian Church in embracing this mission has been heartening, especially the enthusiastic participation of teenagers, both as leaders and attendees. You'll find inspiring stories and more details on this in the report.
Alpha Pioneer, Nicky Gumbel, challenges us: ‘Ask God to give you a vision that is so big that without him it is impossible.’ Our vision is to see many more Australians from all walks of life - teachers, farmers, workers, parents, nurses, students, retirees, prisoners, teenagers, and anyone with questions or doubts - exploring faith through Alpha over the next decade. Will you join us in this audacious vision, trusting in God's mighty power to turn what seems impossible into a transformative reality for numerous lives across Australia?
Thank you for your steadfast partnership, your generosity and your prayers. Our mission is about the transformation of society, the evangelisation of nations, and the revitalisation of the church. Every Alpha run, every guest welcomed, every question shared, and every prayer uttered brings us closer to this mission becoming a reality.
In His service and with heartfelt gratitude.
