His vision:
"I am a born again Christian and I attend the Fountain of Life Baptist Church, under the leadership of Pastor Raymond Fawole.
The Lord has been so good to my life, and I will not rest until I fulfil the mandate he has given to me.
I have been given the gift and talent to sing the praises of the Lord, and to tell people about the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ in the best way God has giving me.
It was not until I came to America, that the Lord opened my eyes and showed me the only Living and True Way, by which one can come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
It was not until I went to Fountain of Life Baptist Church that I was inwardly at peace with myself. And the Lord started his purging cleansing and sanctification in my life.
