He further said, “He was never an artist, never an entertainer. He was a worship leader. And he took all the time necessary to explain what that truly meant."

"A worship leader’s calling is not to perform songs, but to lead people into true worship in the presence of a King; the King of Kings, Jesus Christ. … Today we grieve deeply but not without hope. The worship he lived is now the worship he beholds,” added Bruno.
