Nicholas Chan
Hi, my name is Nick and I am from PCG2. Youth Alpha has changed my life…
1. The way I act
2. The way I speak
3. The way I treat people
I used to act and swear a lot. I also liked to use god's name in vain. But after Youth Alpha, it has taught me how to act. Also I have learnt to speak in tongues. I have also learnt to pray more often and the important of having God in your life.
Jason Leong
Hi my name is Jason, I'm from pcg2. Youth Alpha has helped me in many ways. Before youth alpha I was told by Jessica my cg leader that I was selected as a facilitator. At first I didnt know what I was suppose to do, in fact I was shock that Jessica actually picked me. But I just did it. When I went for the meeting that was held on Thursday and Friday night to go through all the whole 15 session of Youth Alpha.
From there I only started to only know what was a facilitators job, it was to lead a small group discussion. I thought to myself "Oh my goodness I have to lead a group!" I was worried at first but then I started to take. it easy. Then the first week came for the first session for the youth alpha. I just read the reference given and lead the small group, for the first two week I was fortunate to have another facilitator to help me. I thought to myself that it was very easy because I didn't have to do a thing, then there was the third weeek where I have to lead a group by myself.
At first I felt worried like will they respond to the questions or will they just keep quiet. But it went fine and the other weeks came on and on I went on doing my role as a facilitator. This has taught me to me more bold to do the role that I was chosen for. Furthermore it has also taught me to step up out of my comfort zone like the first two weeks were I didnt have to do a thing and to actually lead a group by myself. Moreover, I also learn more about the faith of Christianity like God guides us through the bible,through the holy spirit, through common sense, advice from others and through circumstances.
In the weekend away I learn more about the holy spirit. At first I didnt want to go but at the end I end up going. I don't why but somehow I went. I'm glad I went there, because I learn more about the holy spirit. Throughtout the whole session I learn many new things about my faith. Besides that I also learn to be more bold and brave to do other things. Thank you.

Before this course began I believed it was going to be fun. Normal church lessons do not have snacks and discussions as explained by Pastor Foo. It turned out to be exactly as I expected it to be. During the course, I learnt about many things. I learned is God real etc. It really taught me many things. This course changed me by widening my knowledge on God. It also taught me to look at things from different views.

During The Youth Alpha Program, my first impression for Youth Alpha was that I would learn ever thing that I have left out in these past 14 years of my life about the three, the Holy Spirit, Jesus and God. Even though I have been through many Sunday Schools to learn more about the three but never did remember anything that had connection to them. Through the help of the facilitators, I managed to understand the week's topic easier and better. I have learnt many things such as what is God. Now my relationship with God has changed completely as I now know God in detail and as what he was able to do in the past when Jesus was here on Earth and also now even when is in Heaven.

Before Youth Alpha, I understood things about God based on the Bible and from pastors. But I was still asking question that weren't explain in the Bible. I asked people my questions and sometimes their answers are not accurate.
Youth Alpha has taught me many things. The Youth Alpha answers many of my questions that I usually ask myself. It has help me realize and understand more about how God works in us. It has made me grow more in God and had taught me ways and the reasons why we should as youth go out and spread the Word of God.
After Youth Alpha, many of my questions about God had been answered. I know how to approach people now and I feel that I am confident enough to talk to people about God.

Hi , I'm Bianca from PCG2 . Well first , I would like to say that Youth Alpha had me thinking differently and asking myself questions I often wouldn't ask myself . Like sometimes when i feel God isn't answering my prayer , the human way would be to blame God but then i'l think about it again , because God can use people to let you know that He cares .

Hi , I'm Bianca from PCG2 . Well first , I would like to say that Youth Alpha had me thinking differently and asking myself questions I often wouldn't ask myself . Like sometimes when i feel God isn't answering my prayer , the human way would be to blame God but then i'l think about it again , because God can use people to let you know that He cares .
My relationship with God also has deepened and I've started doing my Quiet Time everynight ,
not just alternate days or none at all . I kinda realized that I was one of those people who go to church and act like a Christian but my closeness with God was like crumbling down . Because of Youth Alpha, I realised that I didn't really know God and need to spend more time with Him.
And because of Youth Alpha , I've grown to understand Him more and my faith level has increased so much than it was before .

And because of Youth Alpha , I've grown to understand Him more and my faith level has increased so much than it was before .
I used to have countless doubts , i would asked myself at random times "Is God really there?" then i would answer myself by remembering what I've learned during Youth Alpha . I would feel very happy after that . Through discussions and sharing of testimonies , I've also been able to
make new friends , having good fellowship with my CG and knowing them a little better .
I'm not exactly a fan for praying , especially in front of people , I used to just say a few , mere sentences and hope it's good enough but through this experience of hearing about people pray and the results turning up thoroughly amazing , i feel like i wanna be someone like that and i felt that that motivated me to pray better and plus , God giving me
the courage to pray face to face .
Quiet time is such an important thing to do .. because bonding with God is very exciting . And every minute you're not there , God is waiting for you . I wanted to get to know God better and since I started doing my Quiet Time daily, life has been on track because i feel and know that God is taking care of everything . So I want to encourage all of you to start spending time with God everyday too because it's gonna be some rollercoaster ride .
Thank You .

Youth Alpha has taught me a lot about God and answered many of the questions I had about Him. This program has taken away some of the confusion I had about God before this. During the course of this program, I have learnt that church should be about God and not about meeting friends. Youth Alpha has also made my relationship with God and other people become closer. Serving and sharing the Good news to the people around me has become a higher priority in my life. Overall, Youth Alpha has changed my spiritual life greatly.

When Youth Alpha started, I thought it was going to be fun. But when I attended the meeting, it wasn't very exciting to me after all. This program was mostly for non-believers who didn't know who Christ was. And most of the time, not many non-believers were coming to the meetings.
With non-believers there, it'll be more exciting to see them ask questions about Christ and the Bible. So when the meeting had started, the leaders showed us videos of how other non-Christians would react to the questions asked, it surprised me how they'd answer that way. But it was also because they don't believe in Christ. Along the way, I've not really learnt anything 'cause almost all the things that were mentioned there most Christians would've known.
Except for a few things, which were interesting, were like the history facts. I think I've learnt that we have to put God first in all that we do. Later, there were activities in between discussions that taught us what the meaning of the lesson was and it helped us understand it a little better.
After Youth Alpha, I think I learned that the Bible is a true book. Reading some of Revelation has showed me that the things happening around the world nowadays are the beginning of the "End Times" or the Second Coming of Christ. And that means that Jesus Christ is real.
the courage to pray face to face .
