Two pastorate teams from Holy Trinity Brompton, London, have recently returned from leading Global Alpha Training (GAT) events in Ghana.

Global Alpha Training is an initiative involving 60 different worldwide partner churches who will run 80 training events in 30 different countries throughout 2008. It is designed to meet the need for Alpha training throughout the world.

Three day events were held in partnership with Alpha Ghana last week in Kumasi and Accra, with over 250 delegates in attendance.

The GAT teams lead prayers and worship at the events along with delivering talks and leading model Alpha sessions.

The Accra event was opened by William K Asiedu, Director General of Ghana Prisons, and Revd Fred Degbee, General Secretary of the Christian Council of Ghana. Over 20 different denominations were represented from a range of African countries.

More GAT teams are set to lead training events around the world in the coming months.
