About Me
My background
My name is Gabriella Haddad. I was born and raised in Sylvania, OH, which is right next to Toledo. My dad is full Lebanese, and my mom is a European mix. I am the youngest of three girls and am close to both of my sisters. We enjoyed the mix of cultures and traditions growing up.
My faith
We were taught to follow the Orthodox Christian faith in our upbringing. However, after seeing many fallacies and faults in the Eastern Orthodox faith, I began to question it. I had a hunger for the truth and believed I was missing a genuine relationship with God.
A friend of mine was saved in a Pentecostal church and invited me repeatedly. I reluctantly gave in. There, I had an encounter with God, but I was not ready to commit my life to Him. After another year of running from God, I finally ran to an altar and prayed through to salvation. The miraculous work of salvation was evident and for the first time I knew what true love was. Shortly after, I was baptized in water and, a while after that, I was baptized in the Holy Ghost.
As I have continued to walk with God, He has taken me deeper and deeper. My beliefs align closely with the Full Gospel teachings. I attend Monroe Full Gospel Church in Monroe, MI when I am home.
My calling
Shortly after I was saved, I had a vision of myself and two others on a foreign mission field. For years, I believed that I would do missionary work in a foreign country. However, it seemed that God continually reminded me of the mission field all around me. Over the years, God has taught me that ministry is about meeting the needs of others. Whether it is cleaning, or teaching, or helping a family, we must be willing to do what is needed.
In the summer of 2020, I was in a church service where two prophecies were given to me. This was when God told me that I was "called to carry the Word." The message continued to say that my life was to be a radiance of God's Word. At the end of the message, I was told I would preach. I have had others used by God to tell me that I am to get into God's Word and commit my life to poring over the truths within His Word.
In the August of 2022, God confirmed my calling through many witnesses. After this, opportunities came for me to travel and minister the Word of God. On August 9, 2023, I received a minister's license from Mount Calvary Evangelistic Association in Mahaffey, PA. My burden is to see souls saved, lives restored, and a church that is set on fire for God.
