Obiero was born in Kenya with normal hearing, but due to malaria he became deaf at the age of 14. In his region, deafness is considered a divine punishment for some mistake made by one’s ancestors. Obiero asked God if he was being punished and found in the Bible the answer he so desperately needed.
