Geno V. had to break a lot of barriers, no one really understood his cause, INCLUDING churches, Christians and Christian radio stations THAT WOULD REFUSE TO play his music CLAIMING IT was the Devils music, But Geno V. did not Give up or give in because he knew God had his back no matter how many times his music was rejected. After countless Outreaches parents and pastors would show up to his concerts out of curiosity only to find their children at the altar asking Jesus to be theIR Lord and Savior. Many TESTIMONIES WERE SHARED OF parents WHO would buy HIS CD'S FOR THEIR UNSAVED CHILDREN to communicate the gospel AND LATER find them coming to church and EVEN SEEING some become pastors, EVANGELIST, AND ministers in music for the kingdom of God.
