God's Unconditional Love - Alexis

Georgia Baptist Children’s Homes is excited each year to recognize the hard work and dedication of our high school graduates. These last few years have been challenging but our students have persevered nonetheless. This year we are thrilled to announce that we have four students who have graduated in May! 

First we would like to recognize Alexis graduating from Newnan High School! After graduation, Alexis will attend Gordon State College to pursue a degree in business and hopefully can turn her passion of cosmetology into a thriving business. Alexis says that going to college has always been a dream of hers and that she cannot wait to see what the future holds.

Before coming into care at our Angel’s House Community Group Home, Alexis lived with her great grandmother. Sadly, her grandmother passed away in September. Alexis wanted to stay with family but that option did not work out, so she ended up at Angels House where she began her journey in spiritual healing and getting back on track to graduate. 

“I came here as a junior and I was really not on track to graduate with my class but the staff gave me a lot of support to help me achieve my goals on time.” Alexis explained.

While the staff helped Alexis with her education, they also provided her with endless encouragement and guidance. She feels closer to God than ever before and feels His impact on her life, especially dealing with the death of her grandmother. 

“I feel like here I’ve learned to be more in tune to God and focused on my relationship with Him and it has impacted me a lot,” Alexis said. “The ‘V’s’ [Erik and Angela Vielhaber - Group Leaders at Angle’s House] have been like a mother and father figure to me and I am so grateful for them.” 

Alexis realizes how God used her time at GBCH&FM to help her grow and see that God's love is unconditional and that she has people around her that love and care for her. 

“Angel’s House feels like home,” Alexis said. “I feel safe and supported here. I just want to thank Georgia Baptist Children's Home for giving me a place to stay and helping me through my journey on becoming the adult that I need to be.” 

Pray with us for Alexis as she leaves high school and goes to college, that she will be a source of joy and light to others as she pursues her passion.

Your support makes stories like Alexis's possible. Thank you for giving children and families a place to call home.
