Alex’s Story
Raised as a farmer on the islands, Pastor Alex spent his early life tending animals. His life took a dark turn when a young man in his village was poisoned. Driven by anger, he led a mob in retaliation, resulting in the death of the suspected offender. As the police pursued him, he fled and lived in hiding for nine months.
During that time, he began crying out to God and sensed a persistent call to repentance. In 2012, he gave his life to Christ and began serving in a local church. In time, he felt led to return to the very community he had fled. Though fearful, he obeyed—and found that his case had been closed. He began ministry there as a transformed man. His bold faith was met with resistance. Some in the community, including those involved in witchcraft and other religious groups, sought to harm him because of his commitment to prayer and the gospel. At one point, he narrowly escaped through the intervention of authorities. He has been married to his wife Sarah for seven years. Despite learning to read and write later in life, he now desires to understand Scripture deeply and teach it faithfully.
After hearing about RPI, he longs to be trained—but with an annual income of $300, he cannot afford it.
