Bienvenu Mukambilwa – DRC
Area Director
Growing up in a Christian family, he felt like he needed to love Christ to please parents. He was more focused on trying to become a soccer star. Whenever there were soccer games happening, he needed to watch. Bienvenu met a Young Life leader who consistently went to those matches and they slowly formed a friendship. He started sharing Christ with Bienvenu in a new and simple way. After many conversations, he left everything and decided to follow Christ. Two years later, as he continued to grow in his faith, he became a volunteer Young Life leader. Today he is an area director in the North Kivu and Ituri regions.
