<p>From 2003-2006 Ollen Mutemwanenge Sosole received his theological training at the Baptist Theological Seminary of Malawi.

Further for three years he served as the Regional Overseer for the Baptist Convention of Malawi for the North Region. Additionally for seven years he taught at the Baptist Theological Seminary as a Lecturer. He also served as the Registrar Acting Principal and Vice Principal of Baptist College. He is now the General Secretary of the Baptist Convention of Malawi. Ollen Sosole discusses that the absentee fatherhood phenomenon is a global issue that affects many nations despite being a gateway to the socio-cultural (under) development in the world. Yet it ruins relational economic religious spiritual and political aspects as is the case among Baptist Christians of Mzimba. Despite the church being silent to mitigate the challenge the study brings a practical pastoral approach to minimize the phenomenon.</p><p></p>
