He and his family are from Zimbabwe. His wife and three children (13- and 4-year-old boy, 9-year-old girl) have adjusted well to life in America.<\/p>\n<p>Alec is a pastor in the village of Siadini and a sustenance farmer. He has been pastoring for 14 years and is seeking a graduate education in order to teach and train pastors and laity. His association (First Christ Church &#8211; Churches of Christ) hosts two training conferences per year \u00e2\u20ac\u201c one for pastors and the other for their congregations. He is returning to Zimbabwe on Aug. 17 for this conference. Unless we find housing for his family, they will return with him as well.<\/p>\n<p>Their host family has paid for their expenses up to this point, but are no longer able to provide for Alec and his family, They are in desperate need of a place to live. If you can help in any way, please let us know. Gil George is managing the search for housing (<a href=\"mailto:ggeorge07@georgefox.edu\">ggeorge07@georgefox.edu<\/a>).
