Thank you for all you do to support Alpha - through giving your time so generously, for praying and for your financial support - I hope you find this brief annual review as encouraging as I do.  In it you will find a selection of highlights from 2010 including the visit from HRH The Prince of Wales to St Paul’s Theological Centre during which he was introduced to many of Alpha’s ministries.  This was also the first year that we ran regional conferences from each of our three hubs - in EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa), the Far East and the Americas. We also ran an Alpha conference for 80 Orthodox priests and lay people in Bulgaria.

More than 16 million people have now attended an Alpha course in one of the 50,000 locations where it is being offered around the world and in 2010 more than 500 Global Alpha Training teams ran events in many countries to help others to run the course.  But there is much more to do.  Given the great potential of the digital revolution, our aim is to make Alpha available to 100 million people in the next 10 years, enabling them to discover a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

None of the work described in this review would be possible without your continued support.  We depend on you, our friends and supporters, who give so generously of your time, money and prayers.

Will you continue to help?  We would be so grateful if you felt able to commit to a monthly standing order to support the work of Alpha globally.  Please consider filling in the form in this brochure.  Your support is invaluable.

With sincere thanks and best wishes,

Ken Costa Chairman Alpha International April 2011
