My Life, Soccer And My Faith: An Autobiography

I grew up as a young boy in East Africa, in a country called Kenya. Had the same challenges and difficulties that every young boy faces growing up in Africa. I grew up in a Christian home. My parents were full-time ministers of the Gospel with The Salvation Army Evangelical organization. I am the fourth born in a family of three older sisters and three younger brothers. Seven of us grew up in the same home where the fear of God, discipline and respect for authority was emphasized. I really can't remember a day we missed church as a family. I can't remember a day we did not have family devotion every night before we went to bed. These are small and important things that my parents emphasized in our lives that gave us the foundation for life that has helped us over the years. They taught us to put God first in our lives and that form of discipline has stayed with most of my family members. My parents are now both deceased. However, the legacy and upbringing that they impacted in our lives has made us who we are today. "Thank you dad and mom for your tireless efforts to bring us up in the best way you thought for us." As a result of their assignments as Salvation Army ministers of the Gospel, we travelled and lived in different parts of Kenya. I was born in the Coastal port town of Mombasa. My younger brothers Andrew and Bramwel were born in Nakuru. Peter Mwololo was born in Tesoland, Western Kenya. My older sisters: Florence and Tru Mwololo were born in Bunyore, Kenya. Catherine was born in Nakuru too. Do you see the diversity even in our places of birth? Although we speak Kamba as our ethnic tribe, we were born in parts of Kenya that speak different dialects than the one we speak. We therefore grew up speaking different tribes in respect to the places where our parents were on their mission assignments. We were kind of missionaries in Kenya. This book is about my life with family, the popular game of soccer and how it influenced my life, and my faith in God and My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I believe my family life, my career as a semi-pro soccer player and my faith have made me who I am today. This book is also about people who grew were around me, including my family members, soccer mates right from junior high, high school , during my employment period and playing at top flight and International levels of soccer.I pray that as you read this book, you will be encouraged and motivated to realize that your life has a purpose no matter what your upbringing is and where you were born. You have a story to tell and you are not just an accident going to happen somewhere. Write your own autobiography to encourage and help somebody who feels like they have no identity in this life.
