Brother Frank and staff members at the Mombasa Youth Center

My work is rather simple. I run an office of Youth ministries for the Archdiocese of Mombasa on the Indian Ocean coast of Kenya. We do leadership training; education for life (AIDS Awareness but better). There are retreats all over the diocese and bible education. There are a lot of things and events that happen. Tae Kwon Do practice  at the Mombasa Youth CenterThe archdiocese is large. We have 42 parishes and 85 secondary schools to take care of. I cannot do it myself, so I have teams of young people who do this for me. This is the key in this work. I enable young people to minister to each other. I am an enabler or animator. I joked once with the teams about doing so little. One of them said ,"Brother you spend a lot of time in praying to keep us going." So maybe I am a pray-er, too.
