Overview
Biography
Alex is a hard-working and responsible young man. He is the last born of six siblings born to his mom. His Dad was polygamous and so had many more children than he could take care of, leaving Alex's mom to try to educate the children in her own. By the grace of God, Alex's older brother was educated by a church and became a teacher. He helped Alex finish high school but because there are three other siblings in high school/college, he has not been able to take Alex to University. Alex was very active in his high school's Christian Union and very sharp academically. He qualified to study medicine and believes if given the opportunity, he will be able to overcome the challenges he faces, becoming a man of God who leaves a positive impact in his generation. Would you be the one to walk with him?
