Fr. Jean Luc Enyegue is more than a teacher or a boss; he is a true architect of character. He operates with an unshakable belief in potential you may not yet have glimpsed, and every nudge or challenge he offers is an act of faith rather than criticism. Leading from the front, he demonstrates that even the toughest paths are walkable.
His strength is beautifully balanced by deep compassion; he understands that a solid home foundation fuels professional growth. Because he cares profoundly about family, he never lets personal struggles hinder your performance. Always ready with a listening ear, his guidance brings comfort, clarity, and the confidence to turn overwhelming problems into solvable challenges—often, after a good night’s rest and a supportive word. His aim isn’t comfort; it is your complete transformation.
Comfort may anchor the present, but disciplined struggle builds the future. Under his care, you are not just a professional in training but a person being formed. He holds up a mirror that reflects not who you are now, but the resilient, capable individual you are destined to become.
The Luo community has a word for such a person: Jowi. “Jowi” literally means buffalo, symbolizing strength, courage, and leadership. He expects you to be resilient and self-reliant, not to seek external praise. He empowers you to take ownership and excel in your work.
Thank you for being so much more than a boss.
