About
Ogweno holds Bachelor of Education (Moi University, Kenya) and M.Phil. in Mass Communication and Media Studies (University of Bergen, Norway).

He is an anointed international speaker. Ogweno maintains that he does not count on his training as a teacher and communicator to do what God has assigned him, but on the inspiration, favour and the Divine discretion.
His burning desire is to see a steady narrowing of the gap between theology and practice. His writings and teachings therefore focus on practical Christianity in everyday life. God has given him unique insights in areas like: leadership; communication; marriage and courtship; conflict resolution; worship; commitment; Stewardship, etc.
He is married to Laura Caroline Ogweno. They have three children—two boys: Victor Ogweno and Jim-Jif Ogweno and a girl: Baraka Norine Ogweno.
Ogweno and his family lives in Skien, Norway.

These are the magic words to call upon Manner-Man - a superhero who can help control bullies and teach children ways to be considerate of others. Manner-Man arrives, shouting "To the Rescue", helping children learn about sharing and warning about not 'hitting with words.' He teaches that if someone starts pushing, just shout out "not nice!"

Story Behind The Book
There are generally two things that make people lose out on the pursuit of that which touches the heart of God. Either, "It is too small, I never considered it important", or, "It is too big (difficult) I am overwhelmingly intimidated".
On the one part VIRTUE THAT COUNTS is a 'spiritual magnifying device' that helps believers see a tree in a mustard seed and on the other, inspires people that there is no price too big when the pursuit of God's heart is at stake.
