Four years ago, the Alpha course changed my life. I wasn't deeply religious then, but I had a lot of questions and was seeking answers. I found a safe space in Alpha where I could ask those tough questions that many people of faith couldn't or wouldn't answer. It allowed me to express myself freely, to say what I needed to say, and to cry when I needed to cry.

Before Alpha, I had negative beliefs about Catholics and Christians, thinking they were all hypocritical or judgmental. But through the course, I realized that was a lie. I had been through some tough times, like losing a family member and dealing with heartbreak, but Alpha helped me find myself again.

I started with one course and ended up coming back a second time. Since then, I've never left. I'm now helping run an Alpha course at my church, and I feel like I have God and faith with me every step of the way.

So this is my journey 
Dear God, 
Thank you for always being with us, 
especially in our times of need. 
Help us remember that our present sufferings 
are nothing compared to the glory 
that will be revealed in us. 
Guide us with your loving hand 
and fill our hearts with hope and peace. 
Amen.

This story is what I imagine after the confrontation between the minor and major family. ---------------------------------------------------- What if after choosing him, you will ended up being forgotten? Are you going to deal with the consequences or are you just going to give up everything? Are you willing to do everything, despite that he doesn't remember you? I'm telling you now Sorry for the wrong grammar, English is not my mother tongue language. ----------------------------------------------------- ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Sneak Peek ⬇️⬇️⬇️ I slapped him hard many times until I got tired and see him drop unto the cold floor. I can feel the stinging sensation on my palm, but it doesn't matter. As long as I'm enjoying what I am doing. "You believe me for that? Poor you Pete, you believe an evil man like me. You think I'm going to change just because of you huh? You are so stupid like my cousin Takhun" and I kicked him hard again and again. I can hear him groaning from pain because of that, and I can't help myself but smile at that. What a beautiful scenery. I love it when I see him like this, blood rolling down his face and body. I wanted more, I want to see more of his suffering. I pulled him one more time and throw him on the bed. "Vegas please, stop don't do this" he cried while trying to push me away. Welcome to my VegasPete Fanfiction. Disclaimer: I do not own any of the following names. Started: June 22, 2022 Ended: July 04, 2022
Adesewa the pregnant corper by ajathena09
20 parts Complete Mature
After the 3 weeks orientation program of the NYSC, I was posted to a secondary school at Oyan for the one year service. I was given a room on the school compound at the Corpers' quarters. On getting to On getting to Oyan, I started looking for a Pentecostal church where I could be worshipping, and soon I was able to find one. Shortly after I started worshipping in the church, I joined the choir. Fortunately, it was at the time when the choir leader just left the church, and there was nobody to coordinate the members. Before I knew it, I was made the choir leader after being interviewed by the pastor, Pastor Williams. I was loved by everybody in the church, especially the choristers, because of my unique voice. Whenever I sing or lead a song, the whole congregation has a way of murmuring "Huuuuunnnnn!" with a sigh of satisfaction when they hear my voice. Most of the choir members were younger than me, so they call me "aunty" or "Sister Sewa". One of them was Bode, who used to play keyboard for us in the church. He was so gifted when it comes to instruments; there was no instrument he couldn't play. I always felt the presence of God whenever he was on the keyboard. I was named Adesewa after my late grandmother, who passed away shortly before I was born. My dad loved his mum so much, and hence transferred the love to me, believing that his late mother was the one who came back, more so, according to him, I was the mama's carbon copy. It was after he became saved, that he knew he was wrong. My second name was Yetunde. My dad saw me as perfect. Anything I did or said was right, even when I myself knew I was wrong. In a nutshell, I was his favorite. When my mum noticed that daddy was treating me like the apple of his eyes, she wasn't taking things easy with me at all. She spanks me at every slight mistake I made, mostly when my dad wasn't at home.
How I Found God by AndreaMaquelviski
14 parts Complete
Through this work Andréa Maquelviski shows that when you decide to enter the path of God, your self-knowledge automatically begins, awakening your conscience even more. God offers full self-knowledge that you won't find anywhere else. The abandonment of your old self and the beginning of a new road in search of the One who has always been, is and will be with you eternally. We just need to awaken and enter the path is awakening. Bon voyage! How I Found God is a personal account of the trajectory of the search and encounter with God, however, much more than talking about religion, it is going beyond. To go beyond yourself is to find yourself in God. A search, a path, an encounter, a reunion and a rebirth. It is the certainty of correct choices, of self-knowledge without makeup, masks or magic formulas. It is the achievement of walking that leads to the transcendental. That starts with simple everyday choices that will lead you to chaos or raise your level of consciousness, making you understand who you really are and who God is. Resignations, questions, doubts, problems, everyone knows that this is part of the path, it is the necessary polishing for an encounter with yourself and God, there is no way to escape this, unless you want to close your eyes and let your life pass by. in blank. It is when you and God merge into one heart, free from prejudices, ties, judgments, anything or thought that spoils this union. For God, there is no color or race, nothing, that cannot reach Him. His merciful heart welcomes ALL those who desire a sincere encounter with Him. This is more than a calling, it is an invitation to love!
He saved you He saved me What about others? by Robbymak
37 parts Complete
The world was full of trouble. Full of confusion and a catastrophic dilemma. One couldn't imagine at what destructive measure it would disintegrate into. While so many things were done to make the world a better place. At some point, it would later be revealed that the biggest problem was not a lack of educational facilities or a lack of health facilities. Believe it or not, Africa, also wasn't the world's biggest problem. The problem with the world today is sin. Sin brought about problems that would perpetuate into many more generations to come! It's almost unbelievable that someone would leave greener pastures to settle in a beat-down environment like Earth. One would wonder what this being could ever want. If life existed beyond the surfaces of our universe, why stay? If there was the possibility of walking with a glory that outshined the brightness of the sun, why hesitate? God cannot love us anymore than He loves our neighbor. His love tank is so vast that it accommodates everyone. Had He only sent Jesus Christ to the rich or the poor in African households, His love would then be conditioned to those that qualified. What makes His love so unique and strange is that He loves the broken and the sinners. He loves those of us that are unlikeable and unattractive. He persuaded His only son to die gruesomely to have all of mankind at His bosom. In the movies, opening doors and buying a bouquet of flowers is symbolic of love. In families, love is expressed in many different kind of forms. Even animals have ways in which they show affection. While all of that might stand out. It cannot be compared to the love of God. God can feel love, and He is love!

"You trust me, don't you?" he says with a smile, that smile. It had fooled everyone, even me at some point, and for the first time I want to scream with rage and shake the earth to the core. "Give me a hug," he says pulling me out of the chair that feels like a rock underneath me. I am as stiff as a board as his hands circle me, making me feel worse than dirt. His hands reach between my thighs and I want to plunge a knife deep through his chest. The only thing stopping me is, the knife is no where near. I pull back and I don't try to hide the anger in my eyes. I want him to see it. To know that I am coming for him. Rape is chanted repeatedly in my mind, reminding of the lies I just told and the false accusations I am throwing on innocent people. He's probably figured it out anyways, surely a Priest as high as he cannot be deceived. But none of that matters anymore because...... This is just the Beginning.
