Praying for Guidance - Alexander

Alexander also graduated from Newnan High School in May! While in school, Alexander enjoyed being an active member of both the theater and drama club. 

After graduation, he plans to attend the University of West Georgia to pursue a degree in the arts. Alexander says that he is excited about the new opportunities and responsibilities that college will offer him. 


Years ago, after father walked out on his family, Alexander and his mother, along with his 9 brothers and sisters, came to our Family Care Program a year ago. Being such a large family raised by a single mother, Alexander and his family alike have faced many challenges before coming to GBCH&FM.

“It was hard at first when we all came here,” Alexander said. “I was frustrated and had a lot of anxiety about what our family was going through but this program has helped us so much because they provided us with assistance and guidance on developing stronger family bonds, stronger morals, and character.” 

While being at GBCH&FM, Alexander expressed that he has learned that the difficult things he has gone through, whether it be today or any days ahead, that he needs to rely on God to help guide his future, which was not something he had done in the past. 

“I’ve realized that no matter what issues I go through, as long as I stay with Jesus and pray for guidance, I should be able to find a solution no matter how hard the situation is,” Alexander said. “I just know now to stay with Jesus and pray to Him to give me strength.”

Alexander feels that his time at GBCH&FM has opened his eyes to what God can and will do for a person. He explained that his family went through so much both emotionally and physically and is grateful for all the opportunities that the Family Care Program has given him and his family. 

“I'm just so grateful that the home has given us a space to live and helped us, not only through the pandemic, but through our lives in general,” Alexander explained. “This place has helped us become a better family.” 

Pray with us for Alexander, as he ventures onto new adventures at the University of West Georgia and pursues his passion and creates a bright future for himself.
