Attending an Alpha Course is a great way to renew your faith in God, as well as a way to meet other singles.出席阿尔法当然是一个伟大的方式来更新你的上帝的信仰，以及作为一种方式，以满足其他单打。 For those of you who don’t know, the Alpha Course is a free ten week course that explores the meaning of life in the context of the Christian faith.为你们这些人不知道，阿尔法当然是一个自由10个星期过程中探索生命的意义，背景的基督教信仰。
After coordinating five Alpha courses over several years, mostly to singles, I have seen dozens of folks come to Christ, and have made great friendships along the way.经过协调五个阿尔法课程，几年来，大部分都是单打后，我看到几十名乡亲来到基督，并取得了很大的友谊，在前进的道路上。 It has absolutely been the most amazing experience in my Christian life.它绝对是最了不起的经验，在我的基督徒生命。
The Alpha Course is extremely relational, and that is why it is a great place to build friendships.阿尔法当然是非常关联，而这就是为什么它是一个伟大的地方，以建立友谊。 Many Alpha courses target different sets of folks.许多阿尔法课程目标套不同的乡亲。 For example, there are Alpha Course materials geared for college singles,例如，有阿尔法教材面向高校单打， 30 somethings 30 somethings , different ethnic groups, churches, prisons, businesses, etc. ，不同族群，教堂，监狱，企业等。

The Alpha course starts off with a Celebration Dinner, not unlike an informal wedding reception.阿尔法当然开始起飞的庆祝晚宴上，而不是像一个非正式的婚礼酒会。 You eat great food, listen to some music and enjoy laid back conversations with the folks around you.你吃美食，听音乐，享受奠定回来的交谈，乡亲你周围。 Afterwards, you hear a message on why Christianity is relevant for your life.随后，你会听到一个信息，为什么基督教是有关你的生活。 At the end of the evening, you will be warmly invited to the first week of the course.在去年底的一天晚上，您会受到热烈欢迎第一周的课程。 If you’re not interested, don’t sweat it, no one is going to call you.如果你不感兴趣，不流汗，没有人会打电话给你。 It’s totally unforced and non-threatening, even for atheists and those of other religions.它的完全受迫性和不具威胁性，即使是无神论者和其他宗教。
The next week you basically repeat the process, except after the message, there is a small group discussion where people can ask any question without fear or worry.下周，你基本上是重复过程中，除后的讯息，有一个小的小组讨论时，人们可以问，什么问题都没有恐惧或忧虑。 In the process all the people learn about Jesus and get to know each other at the same time.在这个过程中所有的人了解耶稣和相互结识的，另一个则在同一时间举行。

Besides all the expected fun and games packed into the weekend, this is the time where I have seen so many accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour.除了所有预期的乐趣和游戏包装到本周末，这是时间，我看到了这么多的接受耶稣为上帝和救世主。 It’s so wonderful to see the power of God in action: Hardened doubters (most came because a friend cajoled them!) at week one weeping on their knees at week seven for Jesus to save them.那真是太奇妙地看到权力的上帝在行动：硬化抱怀疑态度（多数来此是因为一位朋友的诱骗他们！ ） ，在本周的一个哭泣对他们屈膝于本周七项耶稣拯救他们。
The depth of friendships that grow out of the Alpha course are amazing!深度友谊成长出阿尔法当然是太神奇了！ More often then not, the people bond so much during the course, that they choose to remain meeting afterwards in post-Alpha small groups.更经常地，然后，人们债券这么多的过程中，他们选择留会晤后，在后的阿尔法小团体。
Overall, if you are a single Christian looking to build real and personal relationships with other singles, the Alpha Course is an awesome place to start.总体而言，如果你是一个单一的基督教看，以建立起真正的和个人的关系，与其他单打，阿尔法当然是一个令人敬畏的地方开始。 It will also change your life!它也将改变你的生活！ I suggest searching for我建议搜寻 a course in your area课程，在您的地区 . 。 This site will also give you more in-depth information about Alpha, which has courses all over the world.这个网站还将给你更深入的资料，阿尔发，其中有课程，遍布世界各地。 Blessings!祝福！
