Vincent Sawyer has chosen to take a road marked by faith. He has witnessed the uncertainty that is part of this life. God took him from being parentless and nearly homeless, to receiving a scholarship to graduate school at Southeastern and now being an example to others through his business Lyfeice.
Vincent said there are literally hundreds of stories that he could share about how he has seen God’s hand as his new business grows. He shared, “There was an event with multiple desert carts in one small location and I was not making much money actually I was losing money for the amount that it costed. But I prayed and prayed and continued to trust God while I pushed my car around.” With excitement Vincent shared, “By the end of the day, I ended up making some money but it was a difficult day and more miraculous that I made more money than I paid considering the circumstances.”
Some people view money as God, but Vincent knows that money isn’t reliable. He said, “Many environments stimulate this worldview of money equaling happiness. But in the day of grief and suffering, how can any amount of money make one happy?”
Vincent has big dreams for his business and the desire to make a holistic impact with an emphasis on relationships with employees and customers. While many entrepreneurs are in it for the success and the money, Vincent has a different approach. He wants to be a servant leader and be diligent in sharing the love of Jesus with others. And for the community, the business is reaching out by giving to nonprofits financially and volunteering time to make this possible. Vincent explained, “The mission of Lyfeice is to create opportunities to positively influence the mind, body, and soul of each person.” It’s about finding a victorious identity through Jesus as a forgiven child of God rather than just seeking for self gain. That is a road worth traveling.
