O1W was birthed from a prophecy during a youth service held at their home church of Hope Evangelical Ministries in the spring of 2003 , after performing in front of the congregation , Reverend , Dr . Kevin L . Young immediately stood and witnessed to each of them by sharing the vision that God gave him . Telling the young men that they were “ called of God to the youth of the nations ” and also that they were to be “ totally set apart ”, then giving them the name “ Only 1 Way ” Soon after he began to groom them for ministry , teaching and developing each member that talent alone wasn ’ t enough , but it was going to be the anointing that would destroy the yokes and change lives . As instructed by the Holy Spirit , he carefully shaped , molded , and equipped each member of the group with the wherewithal to fulfill all that God had in store for them to accomplish according to the prophecy . O1W has since gone on to travel across the country spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ through their music , videos and performances .
