We celebrate God’s goodness in Alec’s healing process and welcome Alec back to work.”</p> <p>As president emeritus, Alec’s responsibilities will include:</p> <ul> <li>mentoring staff directors in the western U.S</li> <li>cultivating relationships with ministry partners</li> <li>working on projects as assigned by the interim president</li> </ul> <p>“Mary and I are deeply thankful for the support we’ve received from so many friends over the past nine months,” Alec said. “In the Lord’s providence, it appears that my life has been spared.
