In this episode of Living Marist, Cesar Oñate and co-host Ellen Van Cleef sit down with Brother Yves Eyong Mbiatem, a Marist Brother from Cameroon in the Province of West Africa. Brother Yves shares how his family’s love for faith, education, and community shaped his vocation and led him to the Marist Brothers, where he discovered a simple life close to young people and deeply rooted in Mary. He opens a window into the life of a young, diverse province that serves students in five countries, facing political and economic instability with creativity, resilience, and hope.
As he prepares for a new mission in Liberia, Brother Yves reflects on education as a path to freedom, the joy of catechesis, and the call to help young people believe that more is possible for their future. The conversation moves through Advent spirituality, daily fidelity, and his heartfelt message to young people who feel drawn to a life of service or religious life: do not be afraid.
