Gathered with 5,000 leaders in the Royal Albert Hall for LC24 in May this year, over 1,000 EMENA delegates were blessed by a message from Pope Francis, reminding us that a \u2018good leader knows how to raise up new leaders.\u2019&nbsp; As we build towards Vision 2033, we need to train and send out workers to ready the ground and reap what has been sown.&nbsp; Read below for more on how we are seeking to develop leaders and build capacity, through NAO Strategy Cohorts and&nbsp;our new Centre for NAO Development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pope Francis also reminded us that good leadership is \u2018personal but not exclusive\u2019.&nbsp; Read on to hear how we are investing in developing key Growth Markets (Eastern Europe and MENA) to ensure \u2018everyone, everywhere\u2019 has the opportunity to hear the gospel by the 2000<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary of Jesus\u2019 resurrection in 2033. &nbsp;We are breaking new ground, developing Alpha scripts to serve the Orthodox church, opening new doors in Kazakhstan and building up the ministry in countries like Greece where we have seen few courses in recent years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we partner with Jesus to build his church in EMENA, we also know that we are stronger together, and that prayer and meaningful strategic partnerships are fundamental to multiplication growth.&nbsp; We are encouraged by the partnerships we are developing across the region, particularly with Youth organisations as we prepare for the upcoming launch of AYS 3.0 in English in autumn this year, and in 20 languages across Europe and parts of MENA in spring 2025.&nbsp; We have laid strong foundations so far in 2024, particularly through the Alpha Youth Network, standing us in good stead to launch with impact next year.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are encouraged that our 6-month metrics are all showing good growth, and with 138,884 Alpha participants in the first 6 months, we are in range of reaching our goal of 300k participants in 2024!  My prayer is that you are encouraged by the shoots of new life that you read about below.&nbsp; Thank you for your support and prayers as we play our part in God\u2019s plans for Europe and

with experience in key areas such as Leadership and Fund Development, supported by a growing number of consultants who bring a wealth of expertise in areas such as HR, to support our focus areas of capacity-building, leadership &amp; team development, and Board renewal.&nbsp; A key element of our strategy will be continuing to roll out our innovative 18-month peer learning NAO Strategy Cohort

In May, a group of EMENA Alpha Youth Coordinators gathered in the Netherlands to record content and help develop the programme, which will be rolled out and contextualised into further languages including English, French, Spanish and Portuguese. &nbsp;Join us in praying for the impact of this exciting new resource.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha-emena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2024\/07\/Netherlands-Filming.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5804\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:cover\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha-emena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2024\/07\/Netherlands-Filming-Team.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5803\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha-emena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2024\/07\/Netherlands-Filming-Team.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/alpha-emena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2024\/07\/Netherlands-Filming-Team-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"color:#ddd\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-spacer gb-block-spacer gb-divider-solid gb-divider-size-1\"><hr style=\"height:44px\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-red-color\"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>\u2018La Place\u2019 in France<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/mark><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In January, Alpha France hosted \u2018La Place\u2019, an event which gathered \u2018Gen Z\u2019 around the theme of identity and finding their place in society.&nbsp; \u2018La Place\u2019 was aimed at young Christians (18 to 25-year-olds), but also offered an opportunity for them to invite their friends who are more distant from faith or church life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With over 200 attendees, the event began with a fun, contemporary concert, before \u2018Circles and Spaces\u2019, which provides a space for young people to speak and connect freely without fear of judgement, covering topics such as FOMO (\u2018Fear of Missing Out\u2019) and boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nicky and Pippa Gumbel, pioneers of Alpha, were speakers at the event, and several members of the EMENA team participated in the panels and discussions.&nbsp;
