Olumide and Kayode Taiwo (better known as, Olu and Kay) are twin brothers. Born in New York, they grew up in Nigeria. In 1986 while attending school in Nigeria, God set them up for their salvation experiences, which dramatically marked a turning point in their lives.

In 1989 while in Nigeria, they both received their calls to ministry at different times. After which, they both on different occasions have received numerous confirmations attesting to the validity of their calls to ministry.

God honored that prayer when in March of 1998 Olumide was prompted by the Holy Spirit to be a part of a group that went to the Philippines (located in Southeast Asia) on a short term missions trip. On that trip God confirmed his mandate with the message on Identity. Later on that year, Vision For Life Ministries was born.

In December 1998, Kayode sensing the timing of God spoke with prophetic insight: “Let us write a book!” This message led to their first book, Uncovering the Hidden Stranger Within: Answering the Question of Identity.
