But we saw how many people around us needed help, even for basic things like food, clothing and shelter, so we started collecting this kind of help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knowing that people also needed hope and strength in this difficult situation, Gennadiy and his wife decided to run Alpha, inviting people to attend and then receive the food and other practical help they needed at the end of each session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPeople were so interested in the course, literally from the very first meeting \u2013 we were very excited!\u201d shares Gennadiy. \u201cWe have run 14 Alphas in this way, with 8-12 people attending each of them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Becoming Christians through Alpha<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With so many people in the area becoming Christians through Alpha, not only did the church re-open and resume services but it also planted another church on the outskirts of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDuring Alpha people get to know each other, becoming close friends and staying in the church \u2013 they realise that they <em>are<\/em> the church,\u201d notes Gennadiy. \u201cAnd even those who don\u2019t become church members tell us that Alpha is the best experience of church they\u2019d ever had.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"609\" height=\"616\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha-emena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2025\/02\/Chaplain-Gennadiy_Ukr_crop.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6059\" style=\"width:396px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gennadiy\u2019s wife continues to lead the church while he now works as a military chaplain.
