2009 Thirty Alpha Invitations In 316 Cities
As Christians stepped out in faith to invite their community to an introductory Alpha Dinner/Event, God met them. Leaders were encouraged by increased unity across denominational lines as Christians worked together to pray, train teams, and invite guests to the Alpha course.
- 30 AI, 316 cities, 563 churches/organizations, 17,864 guests
- The Barna Group research found that 50% of people make a first time or re-commitment to Jesus Christ on the Alpha course, we estimate that over 8000 people made a commitment to Jesus Christ through the 2009 Alpha Invitations
- 152 new churches ran the Alpha course in Invitation areas
- 16% of the active Alpha courses took part in an Invitation in 2009
After 33 Invitations, the average growth in the Invitation areas:
- 54% increase in churches/organizations running the Alpha course
- 100% increase in guests (including new churches): (9,843 to 19,733)
- Average number of guests attending a course in the Alpha Invitation areas in 2008 (22) and in 2009 (32)
 The Invitation is more than billboards/advertising - it was about allowing God to move and form relationships between the churches of all denominations. It was also critical to motivate people to individually invite their friends and neighbors. Jacki Tase, Mid Atlantic Alpha Invitation Coordinator
