Sylvester O’Chieng is a 30-year-old
native of Kenya, East Africa.
He has
served as a missionary to Tanzania and
attended seminary in the hopes of becoming a Catholic priest.
He is employed as a community support worker for a mental health rehabilitation agency helping children and their
families manage conditions like ADHD
and impulse control disorder.
Adding to his long list of endeavors,
Sylvester serves as youth director for
Fellowship United Methodist Church in
Bossier City, La.
“Serving as youth director to me
means to nurture the young people spiritually and to help them understand that
they are being questioned by life.
And
they can only answer to life by answering
for their own life—by being responsible,”
said O’Chieng.
