After having completely down in a commerical concert, Mathias decided to dedicate his talent to God. He prayed to Jesus that He would give him a chance to serve Him through music. Mathias shared his vision to start a singing team with his friends who agreed to have a music team. After having prayed much, a meeting was called. With the blessing of Rev. M.H. Subba, Rev. Dr. E.T.
