Program areas at Alpha Ministries

Alpha Ministries serves the physical and spiritual needs of people in communities around the world by: providing spiritual and physical aid, building community centers, old age home and elderly center, organizing community development programs, adult literacy education, and other assistance as needed. We are on the forefront of saving women and children from human trafficking. We believe every child deserves a future and we give children a healthy start in life by providing aid for those in need, literacy programs, housing for needy and clean water projects. We mentor, provide leadership and discipleship training, support m:28 training centers, literature distribution, humanitarian aid distribution, disaster relief, releasing children and adults from poverty as well as making a measurable difference in the lives of children, women and families in need. Alpha Ministries is also serving the persecuted believers through practical and spiritual assistance while leading believers in the free world into fellowship with them. Alpha Ministries directly assists frontline messengers, workers and believers who carry out their god given call in the face of hostility and persecution. Persecution includes imprisonment, loss of employment and possessions, beatings, as well as sometimes even the death of the believer. Their support needs are often unique and differs according to the region. We provide encouragement support through m:28 training, impact center and leadership training, liberty storehouse, and adopt a messenger. Other field driven projects provide spiritual and physical aid to those that suffer from attacks due to their faith, as well as helping the worker on the frontlines meet those needs.
