Kolinisau’s father, a former Military personnel and the Founder of the Kingdom Ambassador’s International Fellowship, Reverend Tuikoro Kolinisau was known to his family members and the church congregation as a man full of love, integrity, and wisdom.

Coach Kolinisau says he has lost the man behind his success and decorated career as a player.

Reverend Kolinisau passed away on Saturday at the age of 63.

According to one of his sons, Koro Kolinisau, his dad has left behind a legacy of faith and service and he is indeed a true man of God.
