Kristen Larson is excited to assist you in your interest in bringing Alpha to any place of incarceration, shelter or rehabilitation. I was born and raised in Seattle, Washington but after coming out to Massachusetts to finish college at Gordon, on the North Shore, I still make my home here with my husband and 3 boys. My first opportunity to hold bible studies in jail came when we lived in Colorado, and strangely enough it felt like coming home. These places hold a special place in my heart as they are a place ripe for breakthrough so beautifully promised throughout the Bible. 

Since 2020, I have served in Cantonese Alpha, first as a small group leader and later overseeing the course. We have completed ten sessions and are now running our eleventh. I have seen guests move from doubt and anxiety to faith in Christ, baptism, and serving in ministry. Alpha has also grown into a key outreach at our church, now offered in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English.

自2020年起，我參與廣東話 Alpha 課程事工，從組長到統籌，我們已舉辦十次課程，第十一次正在籌備中。過程中，見證了許多參加者從陌生、懷疑，到敞開心扉、決志信主，甚至投身服事。課程現已擴展至普通話和英語，成為教會重要的外展事工之一。Alpha 提供一個輕鬆溫馨的環境，讓人透過餐敘與交流認識福音，經歷生命改變，並與神建立緊密關係。若您有興趣在您的教會推動 Alpha 課程事工，歡迎與我聯絡
