Please contact Spirit of Freedom. They are an Oneness group

They do have a good outreach program for churches. The individual
you interested in the ALONON program should certainly get in contact
with these Spirit of Freedom. Spirit of Freedom operates in the U.S.,
Canada, and several countries of Europe. They would be delighted to
help set up an outreach program.
