The Alpha Guest Guide includes the weekly video outline of topics, Bible verses and quotes, recommended reading, and more! (There is no Guest Guide for Alpha Youth or in Chinese.) Here are a few options to access this resource.
1 - Complete Guest Guide
In the "Series Materials" section, you can view the whole Alpha Guest Guide. Look for the Alpha Guest Guide FULL. (There is no Guest Guide for Alpha Youth or in Chinese.)
2 - Weekly PDFs
If you click on any Alpha video, you can find the individual PDFs for each week's session to print out for your guests (see example below). You can also download the whole zip file in the "Series Materials" section.
As a bonus, we will email Alpha teams each week with the links to the specific Guest Guide for the upcoming session. (more info here).
3 - Alpha App for Guests
Guests using the Alpha App can review the last session's video, browse through the outline of topics, and add their thoughts using the reflection questions.
The Alpha app is currently available for English Alphas using the Alpha Film Series (not yet for Alpha Youth).
Please click on the "What's Next" tab and look for the "Share app with guests" button. Here is a brief overview of how the Alpha app works: click here.
4 - Hardcopy Books
If you prefer, you can purchase books from your local Christian bookstore, Ekkuip Canada, Amazon.ca, Indigo.ca (Approximately $15)
Top Tip 👍 The downside of providing the entire hardcopy Guest Guide is that participants might forget to bring the book back each week.
Idea💡Print 50 copies of the Week 1 PDF and see how many guests take one on the first night and how many are left over. Some guests don't want paper copies.
How to print the weekly PDFs
Printer settings can vary great so this is only an example. Please adjust these settings according to your printer make and model.
Pages to print: All / Page Sizing: Booklet / Both sides / Orientation: Portrait
This will allow the cover to be on the front when you fold the sheet in half.
(You can also choose not to print the cover page to save ink.)
Use Adobe Acrobat Reader DC software which is free to download (the paid Pro version is NOT needed for this).
