1200 are attending Alpha’s Americas Week in Chicago this week. It is being held at Calvary Church in Naperville which has a congregation of 6000 on Sundays and runs Alpha.

The week was opened by the Senior Pastor Randal Ross. 

The first two days were led by Nicky and Pippa Gumbel, with Toby Flint and Paul Cowley speaking. Worship was led by Brenton Brown.

There have been lots of reports from South American countries including Nicaragua where 500 churches have been trained up in the last year and a half.
