After Gabriel's father died in 2006, his ailing mother contacted social welfare services to intervene in her son's life. Gabriel arrived at the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2007, and his mother soon passed after that. Now, Gabriel has hopes of a military career. He has experienced many answered prayers, and he thanks God for His faithfulness and loving-kindness.
