Praise and worship is one of the keys that unlocks the door into the super natural.

Pe o p l e r e c e i v e d t h e i r h e a l i n g, other students received pay raises on their jobs, tuitions were paid, marriages r e s t o r e d a n d t h a t ’s j u s t a f e w t h i n g s t h a t t o o k p l a c e, b u t i t a l l h a p p e n e d t h r o u g h praise and worshipping God.

I choose to fulfill that mandate given to m e by G o d . A s w e g o f o r w a r d a n d t e a c h the message regarding music, praise and worship there will be one sound heard around the world that will change the l i v e s o f p e o p l e. “ L i s t e n w i t h yo u r s p i r i t a n d e v e r y n o t e w i l l h av e a m e s s a g e f r o m G o d . ”

I grew up with a dad passionate for music and a mom, a sincere pianist.

W h e n I w a s a yo u n g child, I wanted to work in the humanitarian s e c t o r. I s a w m y m o m and dad play and sing all kinds of songs. I started to take an interest in music and I started translating each song t o k n o w t h e m e a n i n g. I was truly unaware that translating would lead me into a vocational profession.

After the death of our father during the civil w a r i n C o n g o w e m ov e d to Europe residing in B r u s s e l s , B e l g i u m . Fr o m that time to my 17th birthday nothing in my l i f e w a s a s i t u s e d t o b e, I f e l t v o i d i n s i d e.

A ye a r p r i o r, I d r e a m e d that I was singing before thousands of people and

c o u l d s e e t h e m ov e of the Spirit of God. Shortly after a friend o f m i n e i nv i t e d m e t o church. I wanted to know that God had n o t a b a n d o n e d m e.

T h e Wo r d t h a t d a y w a s ‘’God has not forgotten yo u . ’ ’ I w e n t t o t h e altar call and the pastor came to me and spoke about the dream I had a n d t o l d m e ‘ ’ yo u ’ l l b e a voice for the forgotten.’’

Q u i c k l y I g o t i nv o l v e d i n t h e L o r d ’s K i n g d o m a n d s t a r t e d s i n g i n g.

Besides that I continued t o t r a n s l a t e, w r i t e poems and songs.

The cry of my heart was Lord use me for yo u r g l o r y. I w a s p a r t of an English-speaking church and when the pastor preached I interpreted everything inside o f m e.
