Prayers for a Spiritual Seeker

[URA]

Greetings to all! My church has begun a program called Alpha, which is designed for all Christians, and even non-Christians who are just exploring spirituality. Yesterday, we had one such non-Christian come, who said she wasn't a believer, but wanted more spiritual friends, and was very engaged in our discussions about Jesus.

Alpha is based on learning a little about Christianity, and small group discussions. I was pleased by how welcoming my small group was when I joined, and now even more welcoming of this seeker who came yesterday. This is an exciting time, to see someone opening herself up to Christ, and being accepted by Christians without passing judgement on her. I just want to pray for her soul, for all her friends (said most of her friends are hard-line atheist or agnostic), and for my small group, that we continue to be a welcoming presence for all who seek Christ & community.

Alpha is a great program for new believers and seekers. We had it running through our local churches a few years ago and it's still active tody.
